David does not initially like to dogs or the country life but warms to them. She is living off the land, a free spirit, looking after stray dogs with a farmer’s market stall. He is a professor of literature, writing a work about Byron that permeates the book, and becomes a metaphor for his relationship with his daughter. He moves ion with his homosexual daughter who lives in the country, in the south cape. He accepts responsibility for, but refuses to apologise for his actions. He is ousted by the university following it. He has an affair with a 19 year old student, that pushes to the very edge of what is social and morally acceptable. The Action is about a professor, David Lowry 52, twice divorcee at a metropolitan university. Listening to it, the levels of introversion, introspection and dark analysis of the characters puts it on the same plane, if not quite the same level, as Nabokov. I’m proud to have such an amazing author living in Australia. First of all - absolutely phenomenal book. Disgrace - Coetzee This is a quick review about the Audio book version of disgrace.
