AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The novels of the South African writer J. M. Coetzee won him global recognition and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003. His work offers substantial pedagogical richness and challenges. Coetzee treats such themes as race, ageing, gender, animal rights, power, violence, colonial history and accountability, the silent or silenced other, sympathy, and forgiveness in an allusive and detached prose that avoids obvious answers or easy ethical reassurance.'

Works about this Work

[Review] Approaches to Teaching Coetzee's Disgrace and Other Works Kelly Hewson , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: Ariel , April - July vol. 50 no. 2-3 2019; (p. 245-248)
— Review of Approaches to Teaching Coetzee's Disgrace and Other Works 2014 anthology criticism 'Laura Wright, Jane Poyner, and Elleke Boehmer’s Approaches to Teaching Coetzee’s Disgrace and Other Works includes contributions that were selected based on a global questionnaire sent to university teachers; twenty-seven responded and twelve are included in the collection. As Poyner indicates in the volume’s first section, “Materials,” the bulk of the contributors are from South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States (3). Readers are not privy to how and where the questionnaire was distributed, for how long a period it was available, or the questions it posed, and some of us may be left wondering why a volume published under the banner of the Modern Language Association’s “Approaches to Teaching World Literature” series did not try harder to extend its reach.'
