The Nobel Prize-winning author's brilliant trilogy of fictionalized memoirs--now available in one volume for the first time. Few writers have won as much critical acclaim and as many admirers in the literary world as J. M. Coetzee. Yet the celebrated author rarely spoke of himself until the 1997 arrival of "Boyhood," a masterly and evocative tale of a young writer's beginnings. Continuing with the fiercely tender "Youth" and the innovative "Summertime," "Scenes from Provincial Life" is a heartbreaking and often very funny portrait of the artist by one of the world's greatest writers.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. New York: Viking, 1997. A fine copy in quarter-backed blue cloth and light green marbleized boards in a pristine dustwrapper showing a portrait of a young boy. The book has a blue topstain and appears unread. This is the first volume of the Nobel Prize winner's autobiography, a mesmerizing recounting of Coetzee's youth in Cape Town, growing up with a father he despised and a mother he adored and resented. He led a double life: an exemplary student at school, a troubled and searching life elsewhere. There is a reason Coetzee is a Nobel Prize winner and the winner of two Booker Prizes. You see the underpinning here in this marvelous book, which was selected by the New York Times as one of the best memoirs of the last 50 years. Coetzee has signed this copy on the title page. It is a first edition, second printing (with a number row ending in 2). oetzee grew up in a new development north of Cape Town, tormented by guilt and fear. With a father he despised, and a mother he both adored and resented, he led a double life?the brilliant and well-behaved student at school, the princely despot at home, always terrified of losing his mother's love. His first encounters with literature, the awakenings of sexual desire, and a growing awareness of apartheid left him with baffling questions; and only in his love of the high veld ("farms are places of freedom, of life") could he find a sense of belonging. Bold and telling, this masterly evocation of a young boy's life is the book Coetzee's many admirers have been waiting for, but never could have expected. Signed by Author(s).
