Seriocui Fiction explores the novels of J.JVL Coetzee, in dialogue with key works
of the European literary tradition and several contemporary masterworks of
world literature, in order to flesh out an ethico-aesthetic ideal for the contem-
porary novel. “Serious” refers back to the Aristotelian definition of tragedy to
revive a certain communal, political-ethical task of the artwork; “fiction,” also
referring back to Aristotle and the subsequent poetic tradition, stresses the ele-
ment of play in the artwork in contrast to the seriousness of the world of daily
survival, business, and life. Following post-Enlightenment thinkers from
Schiller and Arnold to Leavis and Auerbach, as well as more contemporary lit-
erary theorists, the argument maintains a delicate balance between seriousness
as a sort moral criterion of literary assessment and playfulness as a necessary
stage in the creation of any artwork, adding the formal and epistemological
obligations of the realiot novel as the dominant literary genre of the long nine-
teenth century. Coetzee is presented as a contemporary model of serious fic-
tion writing, balancing elements of realism and play/imagination, tragedy and
the prosaic, aesthetic semi-autonomy and ethical responsibility. Ala jo r works
by Coetzee are discussed Wyaiting for the Rarbarian, Life eJ litneo of AlicbaeL I .,
Disgrace, Diary of a Rad Year-as well as other of his works, fictional and non-
fictional, along with important traditional and contemporary works by
Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Joyce, Kakfa, and Beckett as well as Imre Kertesz, W.G.
Sebald, Eimear JVLcBride, Cormac IVLcCarthy, Jiang Rong, and others.
