David Lurie,middle-aged and twice divorced,is a scholar fallen into disgrace. After years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape Town,he has an impulsive affair with a student.The affair sours; he is denounced and summoned before a committee of inquiry.Willing to admit his guilt,but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly,he resigns and retreats to an isolated smallholding owned by his daughter Lucy.
For a time,his daughter's influence and the natural rhythms of the farm promise to
harmonise his discordant life.He helps with the dogs in the kennels,takes produce
to market,and asists with treating injured animals at a nearby refuge.
But the balance of power in the country is shifting.He and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing attack which brings into relief all the faultlines in their relationship.
Chilling,uncompromising and unforgettable, 'Disgrace' is a masterpiece.
This book was the second work by Coetzee to win the Booker Prize,the first being
'Life & Times of Malcolm X',and to date he's only writer to have won the Booker Prize twice.
Book was also the basis for the big-screen film (2008),directed by Steve Jacobs and starring John Malkovic,Natalie Becker and Jessica Haines.
When originally published,'Disgrace' caused some fierce debates in South Africa
over the book's portrayal of the new social and political order in the country.
However,the novel's ethical stance is more
challenging than its painful realism about
some of the country's problems.

this title of his was longlisted,then shortlisted and was an early favourite to win the Man Booker a third time,only to lose out to Hilary Mantel's 'Wolf Hall'.
Consistently longlisted in 2003 - for 'Elizabeth Costello' and in 2005 for 'Slow Man'.He has also won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003.
