Opis

Revisiting the South Africa of half a century ago, the author of 'In the Heart of the Country' writes about his childhood and interior life. This is the first volume of memoirs from one of this century's greatest literary talents.

Recenzje

This life is described with such skill, such exactitude and such relentlessness that I found myself gasping for air... Coetzee has achieved something universal in his work...a fine book, probably the best description of a childhood I have ever read The Times
