Recenzii
These essays, overlapping in their concerns, offer many useful entries into a puzzling fiction that Rutherford likens to a fairy tale, in that 'it magnifies the darkness and complexity of being human.'
J.M. Coetzee's recent fictions are about what he calls 'second-order' questions. Always the self-conscious craftsman, Coetzee made the great historical conflicts of our time his particular métier, from Dusklands (1974) to Disgrace (1999). Now the attention falls more squarely on writing itself: on fictional representation, and on the place of ideas and ethics in story-telling. To explore this terrain, Coetzee takes us back to the apocryphal gospels and the foundations of culture in Plato and Cervantes. This new writing by Coetzee is as quirky as it is erudite and it demands a special kind of reader. J.M. Coetzee's The Childhood of Jesus: The Ethics of Ideas and Things assembles the best possible cast to illuminate one of Coetzee's most perplexing novels to date.
This remarkable collection provides an indispensable guide to unravelling the literary, philosophical and spiritual dimensions of Coetzee's enigmatic novel. Together, the essays form a highly suggestive, discordant and overlapping exploration of some the key ideas in this allusive work. They set a benchmark for the critical work of interpretation yet to come.
