Elizabeth Costello by J.M. Coetzee

4.0

A collection of essays written by the fiction character Elizabeth Costello, with a little outside-of-the-lecture action. Costello mostly lectures on animals rights and the last chapter is a sort of meditation/dialog that takes place in purgatory. Definitely the most abstract and non-traditional format of a Coetzee book I have read; it's not a page turner, it's a contemplative novel and very theoretical. Thought-provoking and daring.
