A new work of fiction by the Nobel Prizewinning author of Disgrace
In this brilliant new work of fiction, J. M. Coetzee once again breaks new literary ground with a book that is, in the words of its main character, a response to the present in which I find myself. Diary of a Bad Year takes on the world of politicsa new topic for Coetzeeand explores the role of the writer in our times with an extraordinary moral compass.
At the center of the book is Señor C, an aging author who has been asked to write his thoughts on the state of the world by his German publisher. These thoughts, called Strong Opinions, address a wide range of subjects and include a scathing indictment of Bush, Cheney, and Blair, as well as a witheringly honest examination of everything from Machiavelli and the current state of the university to music, literature, and intelligent design, offering unexpected perceptions and insightful arguments along the way. Meanwhile, someone new enters the writers life: Anya, the beautiful young woman whom he hires to type his manuscript. The relationship that develops between Señor C and Anya has a profound effect on both of them. It also changes the course of Anyas relationship with Alan, the successful, swaggering man whom she lives withand who has designs on Señor Cs bank account. Through these characters, Coetzee creates an ingenious literary game that will enthrall readers and surprise them with its emotional power. Bold, funny, and sad, as well as intellectually clever and satisfying, Diary of a Bad Year is a journey into the mind and heart of one of the worlds most acclaimed and accomplished writers.

第一本庫切
評分Coetzee becomes laughable when he starts to talk about politics as if he has some essential grasp of how the world should operate. It's sad when your favourite reveals that he is still, just, a heterosexual white man who refuses to position himself.
評分Stunned. 如果有人想要讀庫切我會推薦從這本開始。
評分現在再看十年前的政治和新聞,覺得過瞭一個世紀。自然C老頭的溫和不作為無政府主義會繼續他的冷眼,而世界則一天天變得遠離他的理想國而成為阿蘭的地盤。從伊麗莎白就開始瞭對死的準備,偶爾又冒齣對動物的執著,但終於湮沒於對世界腐壞,肉身殘敗的羞恥之中。
評分獨特的敘事方式,每頁由三部分組成,主體是庫切對政治、人生、文學等的反思,另兩部分講述一個無關風月的愛情故事。看到最後,很感動。
