How can you be a great writer if you are just an ordinary little man?"Ĭoetzee built his literary reputation on the eight novels he published between 19. He was a little man, an unimportant little man. to my mind, a talent for words is not enough if you want to be a great writer. The critics are four women, all once loved by "John Coetzee", the Coetzee character, three of them loving him back, in different ways. Summertime is full of harsh reviews of Coetzee by Coetzee, of Coetzee the writer and Coetzee the man. The bad meta-review of Coetzee comes out of the mouth of one of the characters in Coetzee's new book, Summertime, which is about Coetzee. It sounds hurtful, and perhaps it is, although the novelist who wrote it was JM Coetzee.
