Life and Times of Michael K

Jul 18, 2010 10:30

Finished reading Life and Times of Michael K  by J.M. Coetzee. I can sum it up in two words: breathtakingly beautiful. No matter how many times K is put through life's meat grinder he comes out stronger than before. It probably makes little sense but I kept getting the image in my head of a light house shining in the middle of a storm. The harsher the storm the brighter the light.  Just...wow. This will definitely be one of my favorite books. I also enjoy the way Coetzee wrote this: very fluid and almost poetic like. Will definitely check out more books by this author.
