Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Giving Offense: Essays on Censorship J.M. Coetzee The University of Chicago Press 1996 A book review by Danny Yee Coetzee's essays in Giving Offense pornography , its common target. Chapter two sets the tone for the rest of the volume, considering the psychological damage censorship does to writers, the dangers of paranoia and megalomania. The other ten chapters are critical studies of writers who were subject to censorship, who theorised about it, or who wrote in justification of it. The subjects are Catharine McKinnon's claims about "the harms of pornography", D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterly's Lover , Erasmus' In Praise of Folly , Osip Mandelstom and his Stalin Ode, Soviet censorship and Solzhenitsyn, and the poetry of Zbigniew Herbert. Turning to his native South Africa, Coetzee writes about the "madness" of theoretician of apartheid Geoffrey Cronj©, the writings of judge J.C.W. van Rooyen (head of the Publications Appeal Board from 1980 to 1990), Andr© Brink's models of censorship, and the poetry of Breyten Breytenbach. Coetzee leans a little too heavily on French critical theory for my liking. The essay on Erasmus, for example, invokes Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, and Girard and waves critical phalluses of various sizes around. But Coetzee never succumbs to the lure of applying the same recipe to everything, so one can follow him without having to swallow entire theoretical paradigms raw.

23. J. M. Coetzee, Giving Offense: Essays On Censorship, Introduction An excerpt from Giving Offense by JM coetzee. Also available on web site online catalogs, secure online ordering, excerpts from new books. http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/111741.html

The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2003 was awarded to the South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee. An excerpt from Giving Offense Essays on Censorship by J. M. Coetzee Introduction Writing does not flourish under censorship. This does not mean that the censor's edict, or the internalized figure of the censor, is the sole or even the principal pressure on the writer: there are forms of repression, inherited, acquired, or self-imposed, that can be more grievously felt. There may even be cases where external censorship challenges the writer in interesting ways or spurs creativity. But the Aesopian ruses that censorship provokes are usually no more than ingenious; while the obstacles that writers are capable of visiting upon themselves are surely sufficient in number and variety for them not to invite more. Nevertheless, for the common good, for the good of the state, apparatuses of regulation and control are from time to time set up, which grow and entrench themselves, as is the wont of bureaucracies. It is hard for any writer to contemplate the scale of such apparatuses without a disbelieving smile. If representations, mere shadows, are indeed so dangerous, one reflects, then surely the appropriate countermeasures are other representations, counterrepresentations. If mockery corrodes respect for the state, if blasphemy insults God, if pornography demeans the passions, surely it will suffice if stronger and more convincing countervoices are raised defending the authority of the state, praising God, exalting chaste love.

Coetzee: Discovering Disgrace by Levi Asher January 7, 2008 8:48 pm FICTION AFRICA I can't explain why I've never read J. M. Coetzee until two weeks ago. I always meant to dig into this Nobel Prize winner from South Africa, but never got around to it. Fortunately, a sudden flurry of articles about Coetzee inspired me to grab a copy of Disgrace for a recent airplane flight. What a book. Disgrace is a brisk morality tale involving two mirror-image incidents of sexual abuse. One incident begins as a vapid collegiate professor-student affair, but the other begins with a brutal rape that then forms the nucleus of an even greater crime, the complete submission of a human being to a degraded state of life. This book offers a potent mix of guilt and outrage, racial disharmony and sexual disharmony, and it makes provocative connections in several ambigious directions. It's the kind of powerful book I always hoped Philip Roth would write (but he never did). Subtle notes of Nabokov, Kafka and Nietzsche abound. Not bad for an airplane book.

His own opinion, which he does not air, is that the origins of speech lie in song , and the origins of song in the need to fill out with sound the overlarge and rather empty human soul. p. 3-4 Isaacs has a cheap Bic pen in his hand. He runs his fingers down the shaft, inverts it, runs his fingers down the shaft, over and over, in a motion that is mechanical rather than impatient.

Coetzee THERE IS FIRST of all the problem of the opening, namely, how to get us from wherewe are, which is, as yet, nowhere, to the far bank. It is a simple bridging problem, a problem of knocking together a bridge. People solve such problems every day. They solve them, and having solved them push on. Let us assume that, however it may have been done, it is done. Let us take it that the bridge is built and crossed, that we can put it out of our mind. We have left behind the territory in which we were. We are in the far territory; where we want to be. Elizabeth Costello is a writer, born in 1928, which makes her sixty-six years old, going on sixty-seven. She has written nine novels, two books of poems, a book on bird life, and a body of journalism. By birth she is Australian. She was born in Melbourne and still lives there, though she spent the years 1951 to 1963 abroad, in England and France. She has been married twice. She has two children, one by each marriage. Elizabeth Costello made her name with her fourth novel, The House on Eccles Street (1969), whose main character is Marion Bloom, wife of Leopold Bloom, principal character of another novel, Ulysses (1922), by James Joyce. In the past decade there has grown up around her a small critical industry; there is even an Elizabeth Costello Society, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which puts out a quarterly Elizabeth Costello Newsletter.

A remarkable, searing portrait of a young colonial in early 1960s London, his first novel since winning the Booker Prize for the second time with Disgrace. Praise for J.M. Coetzee: Independent The narrator of Youth, a student in the South Africa of the 1950s, has long been plotting an escape from his native country: from the stifling love of his mother, from a father whose failures haunt him, and from what he is sure is impending revolution. Studying mathematics, reading poetry, saving money, he tries to ensure that when he arrives in the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity, and transform it into art. Arriving at last in London, however, he finds neither poetry nor romance. Instead he succumbs to the monotony of life as a computer programmer, from which random, loveless affairs offer no relief. Devoid of inspiration, he stops writing. An awkward colonial, a constitutional outsider, he begins a dark pilgrimage in which he is continually tested and continually found wanting. Set against the background of the 1960s - Sharpeville, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam - Youth is a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself. J. M. Coetzee explores a young man's struggle to find his way in the world with tenderness and a fierce clarity.

This volumefeaturing J. M. Coetzee's finely wrought English translations side-by-side with the originalsbrings the work of six of the most important modern and contemporary Dutch poets to light. Ranging in style from the rhetorical to the intensely lyrical, the work here includes examples of myth-influenced modernist verse, nature poetry, experimental poetry, poems conscious of themselves within a pan-European avant-garde, and Cees Nooteboom's uncompromising reflections on the powers and limitations of art. In addition to Nooteboom, the poets represented are Gerrit Achterberg, Hugo Claus, Sybren Polet, Hans Faverey, and Rutger Koplanda who's who of contemporary Dutch poetry. In Youth , Coetzee's main character claims that "of all nations the Dutch are the dullest, the most antipoetic." With these marvelous translations, the author proves his protagonist wrong.

Coetzee and the Idea of the Public Intellectual Edited by Jane Poyner “Poyner succinctly situates Coetzee in biographical, socio-cultural, and literary contexts, and her brief interview with him effectively dramatizes the challenges of trying to pin him down. The essays—a lively mix of work by such established Coetzee scholars as Derek Attridge and Lucy Graham and emerging scholars like Laura Wright—are noteworthy for their critical insights into Coetzee’s later fiction.” CHOICE In September 2003 the South African novelist J. M. Coetzee was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, confirming his reputation as one of the most influential writers of our time. J. M. Coetzee and the Idea of the Public Intellectual addresses the contribution Coetzee has made to contemporary literature, not least for the contentious forays his work makes into South African political discourse and the field of postcolonial studies. Taking the author's ethical writing as its theme, the volume is an important addition to understanding Coetzee's fiction and critical thinking. While taking stock of Coetzee's singular, modernist response to the apartheid and postapartheid situations in his early fiction, the volume is the first to engage at length with the later works
