Book Reviews of Slow Man
Book Review: Simply the best
Summary: 5 Stars
Coetzee is not the first novelist to concern himself with the ethics of fiction, but he is, arguably, the most aesthetically successful and formally daring. Slow Man is not, perhaps, for the average reader--not even the average reader of literary fiction--but it will reward those familiar with the totality of Coetzee's oeuvre in unexpected and fantastic ways. He is indisputably the greatest living writer in English.
