Rezension zu „The Childhood of Jesus “
"Written with all of Coetzee's penetrating rigour, it will be an early contender for an unprecedented third Booker prize" -- Tim Adams Observer "Double Booker Prize-winner Coetzee's fable has a dream-like, Kafkaesque quality. Are we in some kind of heaven, purgatory or simply another staging post of existence? Clear answers are elusive, but this is a riveting, thought-provoking read and surely Coetzee's best novel since Disgrace more than a decade ago" -- John Harding Daily Mail "A fine, haunting novel that gets under your skin and into your marrow" -- Jake Kerridge Daily Express "The Childhood of Jesus represents a return to the allegorical mode that made him famous... The Childhood of Jesus does ample justice to his giant reputation: it's richly enigmatic, with regular flashes of Coetzee's piercing intelligence" -- Theo Tait Guardian "He's not quite the Messiah but J.M. Coeztee is a devilishly clever novelist... J.M. Coetzee fashions prose of a lapidary clarity and grace... Coetzee has returned to the (paradoxically) clear and yet opaque fable mode of master-works such as Waiting for the Barbarians. Given the title, one might expect a bleak retelling of gospel stories...but Coetzee never makes things so simple for disciples" -- Boyd Tonkin Independent
