"An imaginatively distorted and distorting portrait of the artist as outsider....SUMMERTIME explodes the very possibility and definition of the autobiographical, so that nothing and everything in the book is, in some sense, true....At the heart of this kind of fictionalizing is not, it seems clear, mere evasiveness of Coetzee's part about the facts of his own life, but a creative response to a set of rigorously considered theoretical and artistic imperatives."
Patrick Denman Flanery, Times Literary Supplement, 09/11/2009

Book Description: Viking. 1 Cloth(s), 2009. hard. Book Condition: New. In this novel from the Nobel Prize–winning author of Disgrace and Diary of a Bad Year, shortlisted for the 2009 Man Booker Prize, a young English biographer is researching a book about the late South African writer John Coetzee. Never having met the man himself, the biographer interviews five people who knew Coetzee well, including a married woman with whom he had an affair; his cousin Margot; and a Brazilian dancer whose daughter took English lessons with him. These accounts add up to an image of an awkward, reserved, and bookish young man who finds it hard to make meaningful connections with the people around him. Incisive, elegant, and often surprisingly funny, Summertime allows J.M. Coetzee to imagine his own life with a critical and unsparing eye, revealing painful moral struggles and attempts to come to grips with what it means to care for another human being."This is the third installment of a life so reserved, so repressed, so seething with polite rage and restrained despair that it could only be approached through a third-person voice. It is wonderful stuff. But then, Coetzee is wonderful: edgy, black, remorselessly human, witty, and often outright funny. Summertime is offbeat and deliberate, elusive and truthful."—Irish Times 266.
