Confrontation with personal and social disgrace.

If you're drawn to piercing explorations of personal downfall and societal tensions, "Disgrace" is a must-read. Coetzee isn't just telling a story of a man's fall from grace. He weaves a provocative narrative that delves deep into the human condition, set against a post-apartheid South African backdrop. Through David's journey, he forces us to consider the broader themes of power, sexuality, and redemption. It's a short but intense read that has earned its place as a modern classic, appealing to anyone seeking a profound, challenging read.

Description

At fifty-two, Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire, but lacking in passion. When an affair with a student leaves him jobless, shunned by friends, and ridiculed by his ex-wife, he retreats to his daughter Lucy’s smallholding. David’s visit becomes an extended stay as he attempts to find meaning in his one remaining relationship. Instead, an incident of unimaginable terror and violence forces father and daughter to confront their strained relationship and the equally complicated racial complexities of the new South Africa.
