Summertime: scenes from provincial life

By J. M Coetzee

General fiction, Serious and literary fiction

Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille

Summary

A young English biographer is working on a book about the late writer, John Coetzee. He plans to focus on the years from 1972-1977 when Coetzee, in his thirties, is sharing a run-down cottage in the suburbs of Cape Town… with his widowed father. This, the biographer senses, is the period when he was 'finding his feet as a writer'. Never having met Coetzee, he embarks on a series of interviews with people who were important to him. "Summertime" completes the trilogy of fictionalised memoir begun with "Boyhood" and "Youth" (DC26083). 2009.
