| adam_text | A young English biographer is working on
a book about the late writer, John Coetzee.
He plans to focus on the years
1972-1977
when Coetzee, in his thirties, was sharing
a run-down cottage in the suburbs of
Cape Town with his widowed father.
This, the biographer senses, is the period
when he was finding his feet as a writer .
Never having met Coetzee, he embarks on
a series of interviews with people who
were important to him
—
a married woman
with whom he had an affair, his favourite
cousin
Margot,
a Brazilian dancer whose
daughter had English lessons with him,
former friends and colleagues. From their
testimony emerges a portrait of the young
Coetzee as an awkward, bookish individual
with little talent for opening himself to
others. Within the family he is regarded as
an outsider, someone who tried to flee the
tribe and has now returned, chastened.
His insistence on doing manual work,
his long hair and beard, rumours that he
writes poetry evoke nothing but suspicion
in the South Africa of the time.
Sometimes heartbreaking, often very funny,
Summertime shows us a great writer as he
Umbers up for his task. It completes the
majestic trilogy of fictionalised memoir
begun with Boyhood and Youth.
