- 'J.M. Coetzee and the Life of Writing' is a single-authored monograph of 76,000 words (272pp. in the OUP edition). The result of a two-year Leverhulme Research Fellowship, it is the first study of the Nobel laureate’s fiction to use Coetzee’s personal archive of notebooks, manuscripts and research materials, which are housed at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin. The Life of Writing is a literary biography focussing on the genesis and development of Coetzee’s novels, in particular to the transformation of history and personal experience into fiction. It has been translated into Dutch and Mandarin.
