Title : Scenes from the Life of a Young Boy - John Maxwell Coetzee - book

Summary :

A despot at home and a model child at school, a young boy adapts his life to suit his circumstances. In 1950s South Africa, holidays, the family farm, two languages, and a mother—everything is conducive to discovering the world—and especially to discovering oneself. Written by Coetzee's modest and talented pen, this autobiographical tale illuminates childhood memories with echoes of a journey of discovery.

Born in Cape Town in 1940, JM Coetzee teaches American literature. His work, acclaimed worldwide and awarded the Nobel Prize in 2003, is available in Points.

“Between shame and catharsis, this novel of self-hatred and thwarted love for a mother is a small masterpiece.”
