The Death of Jesus by J.M. Coetzee
The following book reviews have been shared by Text Publishing – publisher of The Death of Jesus
‘Whenever I want to destroy the world in my head in order to discover an invisible truth, I am sure I will pick up this book again.’
Sayaka Murata
‘A phenomenal achievement in fiction…The narrative is consistently moving and profound, and incredibly self-sufficient. It creates its own rules and contains everything it needs. To me the journey of the boy David and those around him came across as a fable about our inspiring but ultimately doomed search for meaning. It states the importance of caring for each other, of committing to care, even when social struggle and the worst tendencies of the human spirit get in the way. And in the end literature itself proves to be the strongest tool for meaning and maybe transcendence. I’m eager to read the whole thing again.’
Daniel Galera
