Books about J M Coetzee
J M Coetzee recommends
 The Tanners (1907) Robert Walser "Unforgettable, heart-rending." |  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." |  A Blessing on the Moon (1997) Joseph Skibell "A work of striking originality." | |
 The Gabriel Club (1998) Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya "An impressive debut, serious and passionate." |  The Wedding (2001) Imraan Coovadia "A tender love story rendered in prose of dazzling comic wizardry." |  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." |  The One That Got Away (2008) Zoë Wicomb "Zoë Wicomb's new stories combine the coolly interrogative gaze of the outsider with an insider's intimate warmth." | |
 The Vera Wright Trilogy (2010) (Vera Wright Trilogy) Elizabeth Jolley "The Vera Wright Trilogy stands out as the most ambitious and most accomplished work in Elizabeth Jolley's oeuvre." |
