A young English biographer is working on a book about the late writer, John Coetzee. He plans to focus on a period in the seventies when, the biographer senses, Coetzee was 'finding his feet as a writer'. He embarks on a series of interviews with people who were important to Coetzee - 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. Thus emerges a portrait of the young Coetzee as an awkward, bookish individual, regarded as an outsider within the family. His insistence on doing manual work, his long hair and beard, and rumours that he writes poetry evoke nothing but suspicion in the South Africa of the time.

Recensione:
"Wonderful stuff. But then, Coetzee is wonderful: edgy, black, remorselessly human, witty, and often outright funny... Summertime is offbeat and deliberate, elusive and truthful" (Irish Times)
"The cumulative effect of Coetzee's unblinking honesty and his never-wavering seriousness is an understanding of the creation of a great writer" (Sunday Telegraph)
"A subtle, allusive meditation: an intriguing map of a weak character's constricted heart struggling against the undertow of suspicion within South Africa's claustrophobic, unpoetic, overtly macho society" (Financial Times)
"A poignant, cubistic portrait...It is not essential, however, that one know anything of Boyhood, Youth, or his other works to appreciate its rich offerings as an imaginatively distorted and distorting portrait of the artist as outsider" (TLS)
"Compelling, funny, moving and full of life" (Observer)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Mit 'Im Sommer' gewährt uns J. M. Coetzee überraschend Einblick in seine entscheidenden Lehrjahre als Schriftsteller. Aus Amerika zurückgekehrt, tuscheln die Verwandten hinter seinem Rücken: warum lebt er nur wieder hier in Südafrika bei seinem Vater und betoniert den Hof Den Kopf voll Büchern und wilden Plänen, eine akademische Karriere, die nicht ins Laufen kommt, eine verheiratete Frau, die von dem rätselhaften Langhaarigen fasziniert ist, eine brasilianische Tänzerin, deren Tochter Nachhilfe braucht, schließlich die Cousine Margot und ein missglückter Ausflug ins Veld, der großen offenen Steppe, in der die Coetzee schon immer ihr Vieh hüteten.Voller Ironie und Witz dreht Coetzee die Erzählperspektive um: nicht er schildert die Geschichte, sondern ein junger Autor, der ihn nie kennengelernt hat, aber nun an seiner Biographie schreibt. Um Stoff zu gewinnen, interviewt er die Frauen dieses Sommers. Auf seinem Tonband sammeln sich ungeschminkte Porträts eines Künstlers als junger Mann, der über sein eigenes Begehren stolpert, aber schließlich die Stimme findet, deren Unbestechlichkeit wir so bewundern.
