Disgrace
In ‘Disgrace’, published in 1999, he tells the story of fifty-two year old Professor Lurie’s public humiliation. Coetzee delves deep into a character riddled with patriarchal conditioning and the illusion of enlightenment as he dramatizes the conflict between politicized gender play and the backdrop of a violent predatory South Africa.
Professor Lurie is divorced and filled with desire and no passion. The sterile style Coetzee uses to convey this allows the reader a necessary distance to the events that unfold.
