What is Booker Winners 1999 about?

EDITORIAL REVIEW: *Disgrace*--set in post--apartheid Cape Town and on a remote farm in the Eastern Cape--is deft, lean, quiet, and brutal. A heartbreaking novel about a man and his daughter, *Disgrace* is a portrait of the new South Africa that is ultimately about grace and love.At fifty--two Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire but lacking passion. An affair with one of his students leaves him jobless and friendless, except for his daughter, Lucy, who works her smallholding with her neighbor, Petrus, an African farmer now on the way to a modest prosperity. David's attempts to relate to Lucy, and to a society with new racial complexities, are disrupted by an afternoon of violence that changes him and his daughter in ways he could never have foreseen. In this wry, visceral, yet strangely tender novel, Coetzee once again tells ''truths [that] cut to the bone'' (*The New York Time Book Review*).A finalist for The National Book Critics Circle AwardsCoetzee is the only writer to have been awarded the Booker Prize twice
