Hardback. Zustand: Good. With the same electrical intensity of language and insight that he brought to Waiting for the Barbarians, J.M. Coetzee reinvents the story of Robinson Crusoe--and in so doing, directs our attention to the seduction and tyranny of storytelling itself.J.M. Coetzee's latest novel, The Schooldays of Jesus, is now available from Viking. Late Essays: 2006-2016 will be available January 2018. In 1720 the eminent man of letters Daniel Foe is approached by Susan Barton, lately a castaway on a desert island. She wants him to tell her story, and that of the enigmatic man who has become her rescuer, companion, master and sometimes lover: Cruso. Cruso is dead, and his manservant, Friday, is incapable of speech. As she tries to relate the truth about him, the ambitious Barton cannot help turning Cruso into her invention. For as narrated by Foe--as by Coetzee himself--the stories we thought we knew acquire depths that are at once treacherous, elegant, and unexpectedly moving.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First American Edition Published in 1987. Quality Paperback Book Club edition. 157pp. Bright, clean & tight trade paperback copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. "Cast adrift by a mutinous crew, Susan Barton washes ashore on an isle of classic fiction. For the next year, Robinson Cruso sculpts the land while Friday mutely watches Susan intrude upon their loneliness. Life is mere pattern for the two unquestioning castaways, but Susan is not of their story and she pushes Cruso for rationales that don't exist in a world of imagination. Finally rescued and returned to London, Susan leads Friday to Daniel Foe, the author who will write their tale. Foe, however, sees a different story and seeks 'to tell the truth in all its substance.' Discovering such truth is Coetzee's aim in FOE, an intriguing novel strikingly different from his earlier works. Here he scrutinizes the gulf between a story and its telling, giving us a thought-provoking text wonderfully rich in meaning and design."--Library Journal. "FOE is the didactic, philosophical novel at its most sophisticated, subtle and superb."--Richard Burns, The Literary Review. "An intellectually and imaginatively enormous novel, all the more extraordinary for being a slender 157 pages."--Harriett Gilbert, New Statesman. "An inventive and provocative allegory of the creative process."--P. N. Furbank, The Times Literary Supplement. Near-pristine trade paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
