Coetzee's latest novel, The Schooldays of Jesus, is now available from Viking. Late Essays: 2006-2016 will be available January 2018.J.M. Coetzee once again breaks literary ground with Diary of a Bad Year, a book that is, in the words of its protagonist, a response to the present in which I find myself. Aging author Senor C has been commissioned to write a series of essays entitled Strong Opinions, of which he has many. After hiring a beautiful young typist named Anya, the two embark on a relationship that will have a profound impact on them both especially when Alan, Anya's no-good boyfriend, develops designs on Senor C's bank account. Told in these three voices simultaneously, Coetzee has created any entirely new way of telling a story, and nothing less than an involving, argumentative, moving novel (The New Yorker).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197083119904,"sku":"NEW0143114484","price":20.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/618-KOjW56L.jpg?v=1786959617","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/diary-of-a-bad-year-fiction-0143114484","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
