Summary of this Book... | ||
A Magistrate who struggles with the fact that he works for an oppressive and cruel government. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The message! What is freedom? What is justice? This book tackles some very hard questions, and gives you answers in its satisfying ending. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Sometimes the ambiguity can be pretty tedious, but it doesn't necessarily take away from the meaning. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
Coetzee is from South Africa, and you can see the blatant social commentary regarding the Apartheid in this work. He is also billed as a postmodern artist for his ability to include a stirring message in his works. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
Read in a Comparative Literature class. | ||
