Description
Elizabeth Costello is a humane and uncompromising creation, renowned for her international reputation as an Australian writer. Now in late life, she has reached a stage where her remaining function is to be venerated and applauded.
The subject of J.M. Coetzee's latest work of fiction, Elizabeth Costello's life has become a series of engagements in sterile conference rooms throughout the world. She is obliged to reveal herself to a curious public, presenting a major award at an American college and delivering a lecture, among other engagements.
Despite her life's work being the study of other people, she now finds herself the object of scrutiny. What matters to her is the continuing search for a means of articulating her vision and the verdict of future generations. This profound and delicate novel offers us a nuanced vision of literary celebrity, artistry and the private life of the mind.
