Publisher's Summary

David Lurie, middle-aged and twice divorced, is a scholar fallen into disgrace. After years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape Town, he has an impulsive affair with a student. Willing to admit his guilt, but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to an isolated smallholding owned by his daughter Lucy. But the balance of power in the country is shifting.

He and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing attack which brings into relief all the fault-lines in their relationship.

    Story
    "A classic of South African literature"
    What would have made Disgrace better?

    No improvement possible. The reading grabs your emotions, and doesn't let go.


    Would you ever listen to anything by J.M. Coetzee again?

    Y es I would love to acquire audio versions of what in my opinion are his greatest works: "In the heart of the country." "Waiting for the barbarians and "The Life and times of Michael K." How about it, Audiobooks?


    What didn’t you like about Jack Klaff’s performance?

    A bang-on performance. As an expatriate South African, I admired the credible and realistic way he handled the various South African accents.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    A harrowing emotional experience, but well worth tackling. I detected a number of nuances that I had missed the first time I read it, when it was initially published. Also, a powerful movie - starring John Malkovich.


    Any additional comments?

    This is a classic of South African literature by South Africa's finest writer, who for reasons known on only to himself has emigrated to Austraiia. - a must read.
