Disgrace: A BBC Between the Covers Big Jubilee Read Pick Paperback – 6 April 1999 Author J.M Coetzee ISBN: 9780099289524
After
years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape
Town, David Lurie, middle-aged and twice divorced, has an impulsive
affair with a student. The affair sours; he is denounced and summoned
before a committee of inquiry. Willing to admit his guilt, but refusing
to yield to pressure to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to his
daughter Lucy's isolated farm. For a time, his daughter's influence and
the natural rhythms of the farm promise to harmonize his discordant
life. But the balance of power in the country is shifting. He and Lucy
become victims of a savage and disturbing attack which brings into
relief all the faults in their relationship.
