Description: First book of essays devoted to Coetzee's controversial novel, combining critical and pedagogical approaches.
Review Quotes: [This collaborative writing project of professors and graduates of the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies at the University of Redlands, California] addresses some of the most pressing questions faced by the reader of Disgrace - in particular, the question of empathy with the central characters - and provides frequent insights into the finer points of Coetzee's writing. The volume is also testimony to the extraordinary richness of the novel . . . . Would that our educational institutions allowed more opportunities for this kind of extended collaborative engagement with great works of art.--Derek Attridge "ENGLISH"
