Slow Man by J. M. Coetzee, Contemporary Romance, Condition; New Hardback First Edition A man with a love of photography is injured in a bicycle accident and he falls madly in love with his nurse. The Washington Post likened Slow Man to "an episode of The Twilight Zone by John Barth," with the feeling "that it means something important," even while this meaning remains elusive. Simply, Coetzees postmodern literary trick overwhelms what could have been a provoking rumination on love, old age, and life. Instead, the novel flounders under the weight of ambiguity, cerebral analysis, and lack of scintillating conversation and action. Product details Publisher ? : ?
