4.0
!!! https://africanbookaddict.com/2016/04/10/disgrace-by-j-m-coetzee/
4.5 stars. Heavy themes of rape, racism, violence, depression, (white) guilt, animal rights issues, new generation vrs old generation, abortion, shame, feminism, sexism, satyriasis, infidelity...disgrace.
Lots of complexities to unravel in this book. This book would make for excellent discussions in book clubs and literature classes. But I have 1 question: are there any happy South African books out there, w/o stereotypical violence? This book def took a toll on my emotions. Excellent literary fiction nonetheless. Great page turner with intelligent, yet tender prose.
