What is Slow Man about?

A calamitous accident irrevocably changes one man’s life, in J.M. Coetzee’s unflinching portrayal of suffering and tenderness.Paul Rayment is on the threshold of a comfortable old age when a cycling accident results in the amputation of a leg. Humiliated, his body truncated, his life circumscribed, he turns away from his friends. He hires a Croatian nurse named Marijana, who tactfully and efficiently ministers to his needs. But his feelings for her, and for her handsome teenage son, are complicated by the sudden arrival on his doorstep of the celebrated Australian novelist Elizabeth Costello."Almost every new character and each fresh incident in this book raises some further moral, philosophical, ethical or aesthetic issue, adding another dimension to its rapidly proliferating complexities; Slow Man is a mix of fictional and metafictional modes, and a delicate, intricate layering of ideas and questions." - Kerryn Goldsworthy, The AgeJ. M. Coetzee is a multi-award-winning author and was awarded the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. His works of fiction include Dusklands; Waiting for the Barbarians, which won South Africa’s highest literary honour, the Central News Agency Literary
