Getting Past Coetzee

Getting Past Coetzee - Hedley Twidle A solid if slight essay about loving an author who thrives in the oblique but is embraced (now) by the academy. Twidle crystallizes some of the paradoxes, parodies some of the somber Import, reveals and criticizes and collages.

For the fan more than the newbie. For those unfamiliar with Coetzee, hey what: read him.
