Agé de 52 ans et deux fois divorcé, David Lurie enseigne à l'université du Cap. Encore jeune de corps et de c?ur, ce Don Juan du campus se laisse aller à un dernier élan de désir, d'amour peut-être, avec une jeune étudiante. Mais l'aventure tourne mal. Convaincu de harcèlement sexuel, David Lurie démissionne. Réfugié auprès de sa fille Lucy, dans une ferme isolée, il tente de retrouver un sens au seul lien qui compte encore à ses yeux. Mais les temps ont changé. La fracture sociale est arrivée jusqu'au c?ur de ce pays et la violence n'épargne pas les campagnes. L'idylle pastorale tourne au cauchemar. Aussi sombre que magnifique, l'élégie cynique de J.M. Coetzee jette une lumière glacée et crépusculaire sur la nation arc-en-ciel et consigne l'avènement d'un nouvel âge de fer

Fable, allégorie, palimpseste littéraire, ce roman explore et interprète les extrêmes vers lesquels nos vies sont poussées, à travers les relations imaginées entre l'auteur et Daniel Foe alias Defoe

J.M. Coetzee presents a coherent, unorthodox analysis of censorship from the perspective of one who has lived and worked under its shadow. The essays collected here attempt to understand the passion that plays itself out in acts of silencing and censoring. He argues that a destructive dynamic of belligerence and escalation tends to overtake the rivals in any field ruled by censorship. From Osip Mandelstam commanded to compose an ode in praise of Stalin, to Breyten Breytenbach writing poems under and for the eyes of his prison guards, to Aleksander Solzhenitsyn engaging in a trial of wits with the organs of the Soviet state, Giving Offense focuses on the ways authors have historically responded to censorship. It also analyzes the arguments of Catharine MacKinnon for the suppression of pornography and traces the operations of the old South African censorship system.
