And you just know there is more going on that what you're seeing!<br /><br />Andi ~ You're welcome! I thought this was a good introduction to Coetzee. It will not be the last of his I read, that's for sure.<br /><br />JoAnn ~ You're all making me feel a lot better about not grasping it all right away. He's deceptively easy to read!<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-42252161268062055032009-05-05T11:58:00.000-05:002009-05-05T11:58:00.000-05:00I had pretty much the same experience with the one...I had pretty much the same experience with the one Coetzee I read, too.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-28481583874954505702009-05-05T09:58:00.000-05:002009-05-05T09:58:00.000-05:00I just realized, as I was going through making a l...I just realized, as I was going through making a library wishlist the other day, that I've never read Coetzee and have no idea where to start! This sounds like a good one since I'm very interested in the torture debate going on right now and what message we're sending the world. Thanks for a great review, Lezlie!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-62976506314172693412009-05-05T07:58:00.000-05:002009-05-05T07:58:00.000-05:00I read one Coetzee before and it likewise was hard...I read one Coetzee before and it likewise was hard to understand the "murky depths," although it did capture my attention.
