Summary:
"Author J.M. Coetzee sold his house in Cape Town, unaware that he was leaving behind unique documents from his teenage years. In the attic of his former home, the new owners discovered a forgotten brown suitcase and a large cardboard box, containing a complete photographic archive of old prints and negatives from Coetzee's childhood never seen before. The book also has an exclusive interview with John Coetzee about his boyhood and photo experiments"--Publisher's description.
