J.M. Coetzee (b. 1940) South-African novelist, critic, and translator, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003. The violent history and politics of his native country, especially apartheid, has provided Coetzee much raw material for his work, but none of his books have been censored by the authorities. Often he has examined the effects of oppression within frameworks derived from postmodernist thought. Coetzee's reflective, unaffected and precise style cannot be characterized as experimental, but in his novels he has methodically broken the conventions of narration. "He continues to teach because it provides him with a livelihood; also because it teaches him humility, brings it home to him who he is in the world. The irony does not escape him: that the one who comes to teach learns the keenest of lessons, while those who come to learn learn nothing." (from Disgrace John Maxwell Coetzee, a descendant from 17th-century Dutch settlers, was born in Cape Town. His father was a lawyer and his mother a schoolteacher. In his memoir

By Margaret Wertheim
Reviews The fury of two paleontologists tells us much about the temper of the late-19th century. Unfortunately, the book is a slog. By Thomas Hackett Get Uncle Sam off my back! and other misguided impulses American government-bashers like to wrap themselves in a constitutional flag. But Garry Wills argues that the Founders wanted a strong government, not a weak one. By Gary Kamiya Reviews "The Season" by Ronald Kessler By Peter Kurth Lady killer True-crime writers plumb the mystery of the murderous philanderer Thomas Capano. By Judson Grant Complete archives for Books D i s g r a c e BY J.M. COETZEE VIKING FICTION 220 PAGES Nov. 5, 1999 I Last month "Disgrace" was awarded the Booker Prize, and it has undeniable echoes of "Michael K," Coetzee's 1983 Booker winner. In both books a man is broken down almost to nothing before he finds some tiny measure of redemption in his forced acceptance of the realities of life and death. But Professor David Lurie, the protagonist of "Disgrace," has farther to fall than Michael K, an unsophisticated Cape Town gardener. And the clarity David comes to at the end grows largely from his accepting an ever-increasing portion of pain. "One gets used to things getting harder; one ceases to be surprised that what used to be as hard as hard can be grows harder yet," he reflects. That sentence also describes Coetzee's notion of life in the new South Africa, where, as he portrays it, brutal tyranny has been replaced by brutal anarchy.

J.M. Coetzee
Biography John Maxwell Coetzee, better known as J.M. Coetzee, was born in South Africa on February 9th, 1940. His father worked for the government and also as a sheep farmer. When Coetzee was eight, his father lost the government job due to his differing views from the then apartheid government. The family then moved to the provincial town of Worcester. During his early years, his studies were done in Cape Town where he obtained his B.A. in 1960 and his M.A. in 1963. He then traveled the world working as a systems programmer for International Computers in Bracknell, Berkshire from 1964-1965. He later obtained his P.H.D. in literature from the University of Texas at Austin in 1969. Upon completion of these studies, he returned to his native land of South Africa to join up as a lecturer at the University of Cape Town in 1972 until 1983. In 1984 and 1986 he would again journey overseas to become the Butler Professor of English at the State University of New York in Buffalo. He was then the Hinkley Professor of English at John Hopkins University in 1986 and 1989 and the Visiting Professor of English at Harvard University in 1991.

Coetzee was educated at the University of Cape Town (B.A., 1960; M.A., 1963) and the University of Texas (Ph.D., 1969). An opponent of apartheid, he nevertheless returned to live in South Africa, where he taught English at the University of Cape Town, translated works from the Dutch, and wrote literary criticism. He also held visiting professorships at a number of universities. Dusklands (1974), Coetzee's first book, contains two novellas united in their exploration of colonization, "The Vietnam Project" (set in the United States in the late 20th century) and "The Narrative of Jacobus Coetzee" (set in 18th-century South Africa).

Biography
John Michael Coetzee was born in South Africa in 1940, the son of an attorney and a school teacher. He grew up outside of Worcester, living a provincial life. He attended the University of Cape Town where he received degrees in mathematics and English, and thereafter he moved to London where he worked as a computer programmer. In 1965 he left London for the United States, where he studied for a Ph.D. in linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin. He eventually returned to South Africa in 1971, after spending three years teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Dusklands

Caryl Phillips explained that Coetzee’s writing never collapses into "clumsy antinomies" of black and white, left and right, revolutionary and reactionary, or any other oppositions that “threaten to reduce the complexity of life to easily adhesive slogans.” In fact, he addresses the most sensitive of political issues without asserting a political agenda of his own.
Coetzee went on to win the Booker Prize twice, for

He won the premier British award, the Booker Prize, for the first time in 1983, for the Life and Times of Michael K . In the same year he was appointed Professor of General Literature at the University of Cape Town, which post he still holds.

J.M. Coetzee John Maxwell Coetzee (pronounced "coot-SEE-uh") is a South African author. On 2 October 2003, it was announced that he was to be the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, the fourth African writer to be so honoured. The prize was awarded in Stockholm on 10 December. He was born on 9 February 1940, in Cape Town, as John Michael Coetzee (he later changed his middle name), and his formative years were spent between that city and the Western Cape town of Worcester. He studied at the University of Cape Town, where he took degrees in mathematics and English. In the early 1960s he relocated to London, England, where he worked for a time as a computer programmer; his experiences there were later chronicled in Youth (2002). He then moved on to postgraduate studies in literature in the USA at the University of Texas, following which he taught English and literature at the University at Buffalo (SUNY) until 1983. In 1984 he returned to South Africa to a professorship in English Literature at the University of Cape Town. Upon retirement in 2002, he relocated to Adelaide, Australia, where he was made an honorary research fellow at the English department of the University of Adelaide. He also serves as professor on the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.
