Coetzee / $c Jan Wilm. 264 1 $a London : $b Bloomsbury Academic, $c 2016. 300 $a x, 251 pages ; $c 24 cm 520 $a In this book, the author analyzes Coetzee's singular aesthetic style which, he argues, provokes the reader to read Coetzee's works slowly. The effected "slow reading" is developed from within Coetzee's oeuvre into a method specifically geared to analyzing Coetzee's works. In the course of this analysis, it is shown that his texts productively decelerate the reading process only to dynamize the reader's reflection in a way that may be termed philosophical.-- $c From publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1.
