Book Description:

An ingenious new work of fiction from the Nobel Prize– winning author of Disgrace

J . M. Coetzee once again breaks literary ground with Diary of a Bad Year, a book that is, in the words of its protagonist, “a response to the present in which I find myself.” Aging author Senor C has been commissioned to write a series of essays entitled “Strong Opinions,” of which he has many. After hiring a beautiful young typist named Anya, the two embark on a relationship that will have a profound impact on them both— especially when Alan, Anya’s no-good boyfriend, develops designs on Senor C’s bank account. Told in these three voices simultaneously, Coetzee has created any entirely new way of telling a story, and nothing less than an “involving, argumentative, moving novel” (The New Yorker).
