Reviews for Stranger Shores: Essays 1986-1999

'A major force in contemporary writing. A master, in fact.' -- Sunday Star Times (NZ) 'For all the sharpness and sorrow of Coetzee's writing, there is something grandly calming about his style: his sentences seem to give off light, and not in a hard dazzle, but in the glow of a child's night-light.' -- Age 'Freed from literary convention, Mr Coetzee writes not to provide answers, but to ask great questions.' -- Economist
