Life & Times of Michael K
by Michael Coetzee
Review this book!
In a South Africa torn by civil war, Michael K sets out to take his ailing mother back to her rural home. On the way there she dies, leaving him alone in an anarchic world of brutal roving armies. Imprisoned, Michael is unable to bear confinement and escapes, determined to live with dignity. This life-affirming novel illuminates the human experience: the need for an interior, spiritual life; for meaningful connections to the world in which we live; and for purity of vision. THE LIFE & TIMES OF MICHAEL K. won the Booker prize in 1983.

Media Reviews
"An outstanding achievement"
First Line
The first thing the midwife noticed about Michael K when she helped him out of his mother into the world was that he had a hare lip.
