Book Description:
J. M. Coetzee , one of the greatest living writers in the English language, has crafted a deeply moving tale of love and mortality in his new book, Slow Man. When photographer Paul Rayment loses his leg in a bicycle accident, he is forced to reexamine how he has lived his life. Through Paul's story, Coetzee addresses questions that define us all: What does it mean to do good? What in our lives is ultimately meaningful? How do we define the place we call “home”? In his clear and uncompromising voice, Coetzee struggles with these issues and offers a story that will dazzle the reader on every page.

Bonita M. (The characters in this novel are anything but typical. An amputee, an intrusive (putting it mildly)elderly woman, a blind stranger (really strange), and a family of immigrants who are either poor or shrewd... hard to tell. The writing style is different from any I've ever encountered. It was an interesting novel that kept my continuous attention.
