"In this major reassessment of J.M. Coetzee, which looks at Coetzee's full writing
career thus far, Anthony Uhlmann illuminates the intellectual and philosophical interests
that drive Coetzee's writing. In doing so, Uhlmann makes the case for Coetzee as an
important and original thinker in his right. Whilst looking at Coetzee's writing career,
from his dissertation through to The Schooldays of Jesus (2016), and interpreting
running themes and scenarios, style, and evolving attitudes to form and genre, Uhlmann
also offers revealing glimpses, informed by archival research, of Coetzee's writing
process. Among the main themes that Uhlmann draws out from Coetzee's writing, and
which remain highly relevant today, are the ideas that there is truth in fiction,
or that fiction can provide valuable understandings of real world problems, and there
are also fictions of the truth: that we are surrounded, in our everyday lives, with
stories we tell ourselves which we wish to believe are true"
