'The aim of this review article is to point to recent trends in Coetzee’s writings. Increasingly liberated from the pressure of conforming to codes and expectations of fictional representation, Coetzee’s recent works boldly foreground “second-order questions” (Attwell Citation2015): time and mortality, longing for affection, parenting and authenticity, non-belonging amidst rootlessness. Concerns about life “in time” in the writer’s more recent work point beyond the urge to represent historical facts with verisimilitude.' (Publication abstract)
