Description
J.M. Coetzee reimagines Daniel DeFoe's classic novel in this breathtaking act of imagination. Susan Barton finds herself adrift from a mutinous ship and cast ashore on a remote desert island, where she builds a life with its only other inhabitants: Cruso and his slave, Friday.
As she pursues the eminent man of letters Daniel Foe to have her story told, Barton struggles to maintain her grip on the past, only to fall victim to the seduction of storytelling itself. Treacherous, elegant and unexpectedly moving, this novel remains one of Coetzee's most exquisitely composed works.
Published as a Penguin Essential for the first time, Foe is a masterpiece of literary fiction that will appeal to readers who enjoy complex, thought-provoking stories.
