The second instalment of J. M. Coetzee's fictionalised 'memoir' is a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself, of a young man struggling to find his way in the world, written with tenderness and a fierce clarity. He has escaped South Africa. Everything is going well, he has attained his first goal, he ought to be happy. In fact, as the weeks pass, he finds himself more and more miserable. In this unforgiving portrait of the artist as a young man, John flees his apartheid-riven homeland for the bleak London of the early 1960s, where he aspires to become a writer. There he becomes trapped in stultifying computer-programming work and brief, unsatisfying affairs, turning ever inwards in the struggle to realise his ambitions.… (mehr)
Continuacion de Infancia, es la evocacion en forma de memorias donde Coetzee revisa su juventud, un periodo fundamental de aprendizaje.La historia da comienzo cuando el protagonista abandona su ciudad natal, Ciudad del Cabo, y se marcha a Londres; de los margenes del Imperio al mismisimo centro metropolitano.Juventud retrata a un joven en busca de si mismo, y el autor, critico y severo, aprovecha para presentar a un individuo potente e inseguro, aterrorizado por la posibilidad de encontrar una voz narrativa que de salida a sus inspiraciones creativas.
Één van mijn favoriete auteurs, vooral door de mooie volzinnen en de leerrijke materie die soms m’n petje te boven gaat... Dit boek herinnert me aan m’n studententijd in Leuven, het doelloos rondlopen om de dag door te komen, de eenzaamheid, niet weten wat je met je leven moet aanvangen en nadien hopelijk toch terugdenken aan een onvermijdelijke levensfase die je heeft gevormd (misvormd) en waarin je tegen je limieten bent gebotst...

Another stellar read from Coetzee. I started this and next minute I was looking at the free end page...I devoured it. Not much happens, traditionally plot wise. But I couldn't help but see myself in this book, with the characters musings on poetry, the minor tragedies of an artist trying to find his art, in a world heavily reliant on pathetic and mundane rituals, also known as making a living.
