A strong and memorable novel
Guardian
It strikes deep inside the heart...The story is clean, clear, straight, the work of a mature imagination at full power...here is a book that will be celebrated for a long time
Mail on Sunday
This is a trule astonishing novel... I finished <i>Life & Times of Michael K </i>in a state of elation, for all the misery and suffering it contains. I cannot recommend it highly enough
Evening Standard
Beautifully written in a strong, plain, unpretentious style...distinguished by grim humour and powerful understatement
Sunday Express
The quality of Coetzee's writing lies in his inner vision: dark, passionately compassionate, concerned with the nature of man
