J. M. Coetzee And Allegory: A Critical Study Of Novels

Mr. K. Harikrishnan, Dr. R. Soundararajan

Abstract


Coetzee’s novels occupy a special place in South African literature. Each of Coetzee’s novel appears to be a unique masterpiece in itself, creating a new world altogether. Most of the characters of Coetzee’s novels display a marked fatalism, thereby making no effort to tackle the problems of their life with grit and perseverance.


Keywords
