Description:Mit "Im Sommer" gewährt uns J. M. Coetzee überraschend Einblick in seine entscheidenden Lehrjahre als Schriftsteller. Aus Amerika zurückgekehrt, tuscheln die Verwandten hinter seinem Rücken: warum lebt er nur wieder hier in Südafrika bei seinem Vater und betoniert den Hof? Den Kopf voll Büchern und wilden Plänen, eine akademische Karriere, die nicht ins Laufen kommt, eine verheiratete Frau, die von dem rätselhaften Langhaarigen fasziniert ist, eine brasilianische Tänzerin, deren Tochter Nachhilfe braucht, schließlich die Cousine Margot und ein missglückter Ausflug ins Veld, der großen offenen Steppe, in der die Coetzee schon immer ihr Vieh hüteten.Voller Ironie und Witz dreht Coetzee die Erzählperspektive um: nicht er schildert die Geschichte, sondern ein junger Autor, der ihn nie kennengelernt hat, aber nun an seiner Biographie schreibt. Um Stoff zu gewinnen, interviewt er die Frauen dieses Sommers. Auf seinem Tonband sammeln sich ungeschminkte Porträts eines Künstlers als junger Mann, der über sein eigenes Begehren stolpert, aber schließlich die Stimme findet, deren Unbestechlichkeit wir so bewundern.----------A young English biographer is working on a book about the late writer, John Coetzee. He plans to focus on the years from 1972-1977 when Coetzee, in his thirties, is sharing a run-down cottage in the suburbs of Cape Town with his widowed father. This, the biographer senses, is the period when he was 'finding his feet as a writer'. Never having met Coetzee, he embarks on a series of interviews with people who were important to him - a married woman with whom he had an affair, his favourite cousin Margot, a Brazilian dancer whose daughter had English lessons with him, former friends and colleagues. From their testimony emerges a portrait of the young Coetzee as an awkward, bookish individual with little talent for opening himself to others. Within the family he is regarded as an outsider, someone who tried to flee the tribe and has now returned, chastened. His insistence on doing manual work, his long hair and beard, rumours that he writes poetry evoke nothing but suspicion in the South Africa of the time. Sometimes heartbreaking, often very funny, "Summertime" shows us a great writer as he limbers up for his task. It completes the majestic trilogy of fictionalised memoir begun with "Boyhood" and "Youth".We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
