COETZEE J M DISGRACE

After years teaching Romantic poetry in Cape Town  David Lurie has an impulsive affair with a
student.   The affair sours  he is denounced and summoned before a committee of inquiry.
Willing to admit his guilt  but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly  he resigns
and retreats to his daughter Lucy's isolated smallholding. For a time  his daughter's influence
and the natural rhythms of the farm promise to harmonise his discordant life. But the balance
of power in the country is shifting. He and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing
attack which brings into relief all the faultlines in their relationship.   'A great novel by
one of the finest authors writing in the English language today' The Times   'At the frontier
of world literature' Sunday Telegraph    **One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**
