THE DOUBLE DISGRACE
NOVEL 'DISGRACE' REVIEWED
If you have deep love for extra beautiful literature, and if you have enough room for reading a novel twice, then J M Coetzee has a lot of things to offer.
Keeping contemporary South Africa before eyes, and for creating a visual metaphor, he presents David Lurie, a professor of literature, and his daughter Lucy, a transformed countrywoman.
After being disgraced, for keeping relationship with his student, and while living at the farm owned by Lucy, David wakes up into another world. Lucy is more stable in her life, remaining attached with her own piece of land even after being gang-raped. Father and daughter met disgrace; and how they find solutions for their life is backbone of the novel. Moreover Coetzee’s humour would hardly fail in easing our strains,
If any novel is to be named best of the last fifty years, 'Disgrace' has a strong chance.
To Mr. vijaygupta
J M Cotzee is the writer who has written most of the novels in the metaphorical ways.

To Girdhar Gopal Jee,
Today J M coetzee and Shalman Rushie are the best writers in English literature. I fail to understand why Rushdie has not got the Nobel. J M Coetzee has got it.
