Three New Works on J.M. Coetzee's Life & Writing

Launch with Professor Raimond Gaita (Melbourne; King's College London)

Preeminent novelist and moral philosopher Raimond Gaita joins us to launch three new works examining J.M. Coetzee's life and oeuvre. J.M. Coetzee’s The Childhood of Jesus: The Ethics of Ideas & Things, edited by Professors Jennifer Rutherford and Anthony Uhlmann (Bloomsbury, 2017) provides an “indispensable guide to unravelling the literary, philosophical and spiritual dimensions of Coetzee’s enigmatic novel.” (Professor Paul Patton, UNSW). A special issue of Texas Studies in Literature & Language, edited by Professors Anthony Uhlmann, Bruno Clémont and Nicholas Jose, gathers together some of the most intriguing papers from the 2014 Traverses: J.M. Coetzee in the World conference, while Traverses: J.M. Coetzee in the World App for mobile and tablet features interviews with world-renowned Coetzee scholars, archival photographs, manuscripts and much more.
