Either way I just have to get off my arse and actually watch the darn film (though that would probably best be done on my arse I guess).<br /><br />As for which Coetzee you should start with I'd say Barbarians or Disgrace. That said, if you want something a little lighter, Michael K is a fun picaresque.The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438661852327001822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916640680794365241.post-30651215822472422412010-05-16T11:16:18.696+10:002010-05-16T11:16:18.696+10:00Malkovich's accent can go wrong.

I think a trip to JB is in order to pick up the DVD. Love Coetzee, love Malkovich.

Superbly well made film, and brought out the discourse of South America in a way that I can only assume is faithful to the novel's intentions.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364180162463944789noreply@blogger.com
