J M Coetzee recommends
 Beyond Sleep (1966) W F Hermans "A comedy of worldly disengagement trembling on the edge of tragedy, all the more hilarious for being related in Hermans' best poker-faced mariner." |  Half a Life (2001) V S Naipaul "Naipaul is a master of English prose and the prose of Half a Life is as clean and cold as a knife." |  The City of Sealions (2002) Eva Sallis "A rich book - a lyrical account of a girl's growth and self-discovery, and at the same time a deeply sympathetic exploration of Muslim culture." | |
 The Man of Feeling (2003) Javier Mariás "Javier Mariás is in my opinion one of the best contemporary writers." |  Crossways (2004) Sheila Kohler "There is a territory - fictional and psychological - that Sheila Kohler has now marked as her own. I am full of admiration." |  The Apothecary's Daughter (2004) Patricia Schonstein "A richly romantic tale of sexual awakening and betrayal." | |
 In the Country of Men (2006) Hisham Matar "A poignant story of a child exposed too early to the brutalities of Libyan politics." |  Inside (2006) Kenneth J Harvey "An extravagantly haunted imagination." |  The Rowing Lesson (2007) Anne Landsman "An elegy for a lost father and a beloved world on the point of disappearing. Rarely in South African writing will we encounter language of such fire and passion." | |
 The Cellist of Sarajevo (2008) Steven Galloway "A gripping story of Sarajevo under siege." |
