Described with such skill, such exactitude and such relentlessness
that I found myself gasping for air... Coetzee has achieved
something universal in his work... A fine book, probably the best
description of a childhood I have ever read
*The Times (on Boyhood)*
A memorable picture of the harshness London can offer to
incomers... Youth is a wonderful book: a portrait of the artist as
a young man, to rank with any in the canon
*Evening Standard (on Youth)*
This is the third instalment of a life so reserved, so repressed,
so seething with polite rage and restrained despair that it could
only be approached through a third-person voice...it is wonderful
stuff
*Irish Times (on Summertime)*
The publication of Coetzee's trilogy of fictionalised memoir -
Boyhood, Youth and Summertime - in one handsome volume highlights
the uneasy relationship between the reality of his life and the
fiction of his books
*New Statesman*
