A review by casparb
Elizabeth Costello by J.M. Coetzee

actually my first coetzee ! and it's very so not for everybody. I've seen this called a problem novel(?) in that you're not here for STORY it's a portrait and a thought, continuing. Elizabeth Costello is largely a lecture, a series of lectures, they're good, they're unexpected when you're leaning into a novel. Peter Singer seems to hover here. ! I didn't detect any egregious strawmanism things. then ! the whole endeavour launches into what I rly can't avoid calling a take on Kafka's Before the Law, neat. I kind of go both ways on this !!! and I'm thinking still whether I Do Like

there can't be ! many this way
