About this event

Dive into the thought-provoking world of J.M. Coetzee's literature with this immersive online course. Over four engaging sessions, we'll explore existential themes of identity and resilience in The Life and Times of Michael K, grapple with ethical complexities in Disgrace, examine the intersection of literature and morality in Elizabeth Costello, and synthesize key insights across Coetzee's works. Join us for deep discussions on identity, ethics, and the human condition in Coetzee's compelling narratives.
