Trade ReviewA 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
Life & Times of Michael K 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 * Financial Times *
