Coetzee new move to me wouldn't seem to be a strike towards him being a racist , neither would his writing. to me most writers tend to focus on the things that are at hand for them rather than parade around the unknown and write. It seem like he has been attacked for alot of his works due the factor that he is a white man writing on and about Black Man issues. The question to me is how does that make him a racist, he writes only about things that people tend to run and act like never existed in the first place.
When reading Disgrace, Coetzee hit topics that are very true even in today world and time. I wonder is anyone would really call that work racial? It seems like if he was the black man and others would write on his social and economically ordeals would it be so bad , would the same type of labeling fall off of him and on to someone else.
His move was far from a racial move , and i don't believe that its an affect on his works at all, this man is very brill iant on how he in twines cultural views with today's problem whatever here or in South Africa,
