In the lecture, he describes two men, one is an old man named Robin Crusoe, the other is his man, who sends reports of every place he goes to. Again, Coetzee discusses writing business, like he did in 'Foe'. What is writing all about?, Why do we write?, And, What is the meaning of it? Perhaps, we can never find out the answers to these questions. no reviews | add a review
In his acceptance speech for the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature, J. M. Coetzee delivered an intriguing and enigmatic short story, ?He and His Man.' The story features Robinson Crusoe, long after his return from the island, reflecting on death and spectacle, writing and allegory, solitude and sociability, as he searches his mind for some true understanding of the ?man? who writes of and for him. In the spare and powerful prose for which Coetzee is renowned, The Nobel Lecture in Literature, 2003 is a provocative testament to the uncompromising vision of one of the world's most profound writers.
