Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 233 pages. Elizabeth Costello is a humane, moral, and uncompr omising creation. The subject of J.M. Coetzee's latest work of f iction is an Australian writer of international renown -- feted, studied and honoured. Famous principally for an early novel that established her reputation and from which, it seems, she will nev er escape, she has reached the stage, late in life, where her rem aining function is to be venerated and applauded. One of a new b reed of intellectual nomads, her life has become a series of enga gements in sterile conference rooms throughout the world -- a pri vate consciousness obliged to reveal itself to a curious public: the presentation of a major award at an American college where sh e is required to deliver a lecture; a sojourn as the writer-in-re sidence on a cruise liner during which she encounters a fellow gu est lecturer, an African poet also employed to divert the passeng ers. Then there is a disquieting appearance at a writers' confere nce in Amsterdam where she finds the subject of her talk unexpect edly among the audience. She has made her life's work the study o f other people, yet now it is she who is the object of scrutiny. But, for her, what matters is the continuing search for a means o f articulating her vision and the verdict of future generations. J.M. Coetzee's latest work of fiction offers us a profound and d elicate vision of literary celebrity, artistry and the private li fe of the mind. From the Hardcover edition. Codice articolo 252r
