Full description for Diary of a Bad Year

• An ingenious new work of fiction from the Nobel Prize? winning author of "Disgrace" J . M. Coetzee once again breaks literary ground with "Diary of a Bad Year," a book that is, in the words of its protagonist, ?a response to the present in which I find myself.? Aging author Senor C has been commissioned to write a series of essays entitled ?Strong Opinions, ? of which he has many. After hiring a beautiful young typist named Anya, the two embark on a relationship that will have a profound impact on them both? especially when Alan, Anya's no-good boyfriend, develops designs on Senor C's bank account. Told in these three voices simultaneously, Coetzee has created any entirely new way of telling a story, and nothing less than an ?involving, argumentative, moving novel? ("The New Yorker").
