The Slow Philosophy Of J. M. Coetzee - 9781474256452

In The Slow Philosophy of J. M. Coetzee Jan Wilm analyzes Coetzee's singular aesthetic style which, he argues, provokes the reader to read his works slowly. The effected slow reading" is developed from within Coetzee's oeuvre into a method specifically geared to analyzing Coetzee's works. In the course of this analysis, it is shown that his texts productively decelerate the reading process only to dynamize the reader's reflextion in a way that may be termed philosophical."--Page 4 of cover.
