Coetzee: Truth, Meaning, Fiction\u003c\/i\u003eilluminates the intellectual and philosophical interests that drive Coetzee's writing. In doing so, it makes the case for Coetzee as an important and original thinker in his own right. Whilst looking at Coetzee's writing career, from his dissertation through to \u003ci\u003eThe Schooldays of Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e(2016), and interpreting running themes and scenarios, style and evolving attitudes to literary form, Anthony Uhlmann also offers revealing glimpses, informed by archival research, of Coetzee's writing process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the main themes that Uhlmann sees in Coetzee's writing, and which remains highly relevant today, is the awareness that there is truth in fiction, or that fiction can provide valuable insights into real world problems, and that there are also fictions of the truth: that we are surrounded, in our everyday lives, by stories we wish to believe are true. \u003ci\u003eJ. M. Coetzee: Truth, Meaning, Fiction\u003c\/i\u003eoffers a revealing new account of one of arguably our most important contemporary writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Uhlmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501357468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501357466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Anthony Uhlmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124251193599,"sku":"9781501357466","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33552eda-1022-4ef1-86d9-d66c9d99164d.jpg?v=1687435645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/j-m-coetzee-anthony-uhlmann-9781501357466","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
