L'écriture de J.M. Coetzee est simple et infiniment puissante à la fois. La Mort de Jésus n'échappe pas à la règle.

The story of a disgraced university professor in Cape Town South Africa. He takes advantage of a female student and is asked to apologise publicly but refuses because he believes it is his right not to. He leaves the uni in disgrace and goes to live in the country where his daughter runs a very small land holding growing flowers and vegetables for sale at the local market. The era is not spelt out specifically but seems to reflect the unrest during the period of apartheid. they are attacked by 2 men and a youth who rape his daughter and set him alight with methylated spirits. the relationship between father and daughter ends up fractured due to their differing views on how the incident should be dealt with. I found the focus he gave to his attempt to write an opera on Byron's life an unnecessary distraction from the relationship issues explored through the interactions he had with various people.… (mais)

wtf I’m so pissed I even spent money on this book; I had to read it for class and I wish I had rented it so I could return it and never see it again. I’m not even going to bother giving this book a proper review. I wish it was possible to unread something. Don’t read “Diary of a Bad Year” unless you want to HAVE a bad year. This book is annoying- everything from its characters to the writing style to the word choice and the DAMN FORMATTING. The plot is senseless and horny and rambling and poorly constructed. In the past, I’ve only ever had one book I’ve said I “hated” but this book has just joined that list.… (mais)
