Extractions: Essays on Censorship The University of Chicago Press 1996 A book review by Danny Yee Coetzee's essays in Giving Offense deal not with the politics of censorship but with its psychological and moral effects - on both the censors and the censored. The opening chapter is a broad survey of both censorship and pornography , its common target. Chapter two sets the tone for the rest of the volume, considering the psychological damage censorship does to writers, the dangers of paranoia and megalomania. The other ten chapters are critical studies of writers who were subject to censorship, who theorised about it, or who wrote in justification of it. The subjects are Catharine McKinnon's claims about "the harms of pornography", D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterly's Lover , Erasmus' In Praise of Folly , Osip Mandelstom and his Stalin Ode, Soviet censorship and Solzhenitsyn, and the poetry of Zbigniew Herbert. Turning to his native South Africa, Coetzee writes about the "madness" of theoretician of apartheid Geoffrey Cronjé, the writings of judge J.C.W. van Rooyen (head of the Publications Appeal Board from 1980 to 1990), André Brink's models of censorship, and the poetry of Breyten Breytenbach. Coetzee leans a little too heavily on French critical theory for my liking. The essay on Erasmus, for example, invokes Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, and Girard and waves critical phalluses of various sizes around. But Coetzee never succumbs to the lure of applying the same recipe to everything, so one can follow him without having to swallow entire theoretical paradigms raw.

Salon Books | "Disgrace" By J.M. Coetzee
Review of the 1999 Booker Prize winner from Salon Books.
http://www.salon.com/books/review/1999/11/05/coetzee/

Extractions: Nov. 5, 1999 I Last month "Disgrace" was awarded the Booker Prize, and it has undeniable echoes of "Michael K," Coetzee's 1983 Booker winner. In both books a man is broken down almost to nothing before he finds some tiny measure of redemption in his forced acceptance of the realities of life and death. But Professor David Lurie, the protagonist of "Disgrace," has farther to fall than Michael K, an unsophisticated Cape Town gardener. And the clarity David comes to at the end grows largely from his accepting an ever-increasing portion of pain. "One gets used to things getting harder; one ceases to be surprised that what used to be as hard as hard can be grows harder yet," he reflects. That sentence also describes Coetzee's notion of life in the new South Africa, where, as he portrays it, brutal tyranny has been replaced by brutal anarchy.

Coetzee manages to transmute political concerns into imaginative landscapes: South Africa becomes a nightmarish out-of-time dystopia, yet retains its social reality. He is critically revered (though some found his memoir, Boyhood, too emotionally disengaged), especially for Life and Times of Michael K, which won the Booker Prize in 1983. 1999's Booker-winning Disgrace, an unflinching look at the new social order, seems to herald a sparser, simpler style.

of the book The Lives of Animals by coetzee, JM, published by PrincetonUniversity Press. JM coetzee Edited and with an introduction by Amy Gutmann.
http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/6543.html

Extractions: Sample Chapter The idea of human cruelty to animals so consumes novelist Elizabeth Costello in her later years that she can no longer look another person in the eye: humans, especially meat-eating ones, seem to her to be conspirators in a crime of stupefying magnitude taking place on farms and in slaughterhouses, factories, and laboratories across the world. Costello's son, a physics professor, admires her literary achievements, but dreads his mother's lecturing on animal rights at the college where he teaches. His colleagues resist her argument that human reason is overrated and that the inability to reason does not diminish the value of life; his wife denounces his mother's vegetarianism as a form of moral superiority. At the dinner that follows her first lecture, the guests confront Costello with a range of sympathetic and skeptical reactions to issues of animal rights, touching on broad philosophical, anthropological, and religious perspectives. Painfully for her son, Elizabeth Costello seems offensive and flaky, butdare he admit it?strangely on target. Here the internationally renowned writer J. M. Coetzee uses fiction to present a powerfully moving discussion of animal rights in all their complexity. He draws us into Elizabeth Costello's own sense of mortality, her compassion for animals, and her alienation from humans, even from her own family. In his fable, presented as a Tanner Lecture sponsored by the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University, Coetzee immerses us in a drama reflecting the real-life situation at hand: a writer delivering a lecture on an emotionally charged issue at a prestigious university. Literature, philosophy, performance, and deep human convictionCoetzee brings all these elements into play.

Extractions: "SERIOUSNESS is, for a certain kind of artist, an imperative uniting the aesthetic and the ethical," John Coetzee wrote in Giving Offense: Essays on Censorship . In The Lives of Animals Costello's lectures within Coetzee's lectures therefore ask their audience to "open your heart and listen to what your heart says." Do animals have rights? Do human beings have duties toward them regardless of whether they have rights? What kind of souls do animals have? What kind do we have? Costello does not answer these questions in her lectures, because they are too philo sophical for the immediate task at hand. They presume that the mind can lead the heart, a presumption that Elizabeth Costello's experience has led her to reject after a long life of trying to convince other people of her perspective on animals. In any case, as Costello tells her audience at Appleton, "if you had wanted someone to come here and discriminate for you between mortal and immortal souls, or between rights and duties, you would have called in a philosopher, not a person whose sole claim to your attention is to have written stories about made-up people."

Extractions: Paper $15.00 0-226-11176-8 Fall 1997 J. M. Coetzee presents a coherent, unorthodox analysis of censorship from the perspective of one who has lived and worked under its shadow. The essays collected here attempt to understand the passion that plays itself out in acts of silencing and censoring. He argues that a destructive dynamic of belligerence and escalation tends to overtake the rivals in any field ruled by censorship. From Osip Mandelstam commanded to compose an ode in praise of Stalin, to Breyten Breytenbach writing poems under and for the eyes of his prison guards, to Aleksander Solzhenitsyn engaging in a trial of wits with the organs of the Soviet state, Giving Offense focuses on the ways authors have historically responded to censorship. It also analyzes the arguments of Catharine MacKinnon for the suppression of pornography and traces the operations of the old South African censorship system. "The most impressive feature of Coetzee's essays, besides his ear for language, is his coolheadedness. He can dissect repugnant notions and analyze volatile emotions with enviable poise."Kenneth Baker

http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/111741.html

Extractions: Introduction Writing does not flourish under censorship. This does not mean that the censor's edict, or the internalized figure of the censor, is the sole or even the principal pressure on the writer: there are forms of repression, inherited, acquired, or self-imposed, that can be more grievously felt. There may even be cases where external censorship challenges the writer in interesting ways or spurs creativity. But the Aesopian ruses that censorship provokes are usually no more than ingenious; while the obstacles that writers are capable of visiting upon themselves are surely sufficient in number and variety for them not to invite more. Nevertheless, for the common good, for the good of the state, apparatuses of regulation and control are from time to time set up, which grow and entrench themselves, as is the wont of bureaucracies. It is hard for any writer to contemplate the scale of such apparatuses without a disbelieving smile. If representations, mere shadows, are indeed so dangerous, one reflects, then surely the appropriate countermeasures are other representations, counterrepresentations. If mockery corrodes respect for the state, if blasphemy insults God, if pornography demeans the passions, surely it will suffice if stronger and more convincing countervoices are raised defending the authority of the state, praising God, exalting chaste love. This response is wholly in accord with the teleology of liberalism, which believes in throwing open the marketplace to contending forces because in the long run the market tends to the good, that is to say, to progress, which liberalism understands in a historical and even metaphysical light. It is wholly at odds with the outlook of the more austere branches of Islam, Judaism, and Protestant Christianity, which, detecting a seductive and devilish force at the root of the power of representation, and thus having no reason to expect that, in a war of representations, a war without rules, good representations will triumph, prefer to ban graven images.

All he can do well, it appears, is be miserable. Coetzee has won international prizes for his novels, including Disgrace (2000), set in his native South Africa. But this wry, honest, edgy memoir is the portrait of the young artist as a failure. Its the early 1960s, and Coetzee has escaped family and country for London, where hes free to become the intellectual hes destined to be. He wants to be a poet and have love affairs. Instead, hes trapped, lonely, stuck in a job as a computer programmer (well, he rationalizes, Eliot worked in a bank). He behaves badly (but then, without descending into the depths, one cannot be an artist). As in Coetzees first memoir, Boyhood (1997), the third-person present-tense narrative takes you right into the young mans angst in all its idiotic self-absorption. The ordinary speaking voice and the rhythm of the sentences capture perfectly how he knows hes making a mess of everything, but how, maybe, that will make him a better poet. He would rather be bad than boring, but he has no respect for a person who would rather be bad than boring. The world is eruptingthe Sharpeville massacre at home; the cold war and then Vietnambut what worries Coetzee is how he can fit it all into the story of his life. Time and place are wonderfully particular, but this is about everyones quest that ends nowhere.
