Book and wrapper still in great condition - Looks almost new to me - 263 pg. >>> What a beautiful novel this is. Coetzee is an artist of the novel, and in Slow Man he lets us in on how he practices his art. - The story begins with a traumatic accident that ends in the amputation of Paul Rayment's leg (not a spoiler, it's on the back cover of the book), and his adjustment, or rather lack thereof, to his new condition. >>> J. M. Coetzee, one of the greatest living writers in the English language, has crafted a deeply moving tale of love and mortality in his new book, Slow Man. When photographer Paul Rayment loses his leg in a bicycle accident, he is forced to re-examine how he has lived his life. Through Paul's story, Coetzee addresses questions that define us all: What does it mean to do good ? What in our lives is ultimately meaningful ? How do we define the place we call "home"? In his clear and uncompromising voice, Coetzee struggles with these issues and offers a story that will dazzle the reader on every page.
