Coetzee, J. M. :
J. M. Coetzee's books include Dusklands, In the Heart of the Country, Waiting for the Barbarians, Life & Times
of Michael K, Foe, and The Master of Petersburg (all available from Penguin). A professor of general literature
at the University of Cape Town, Coetzee has won many literary awards, including the CNA Prize (South Africa's premier
literary award), the Booker Prize, the Prix Etranger Femina, the Jerusalem Prize, and The Irish Times International
Fiction Prize.
For decades the Magistrate has been a loyal servant of the Empire, running the affairs of a tiny frontier settlement
and ignoring the impending war with the barbarians. When interrogation experts arrive, however, he witnesses the
Empire's cruel and unjust treatment of prisoners of war. Jolted into sympathy for their victims, he commits a quixotic
act of rebellion that brands him an enemy of the state.
J. M. Coetzee's prize-winning novel is a startling allegory of the war between opressor and opressed. The Magistrate
is not simply a man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in remote times; his situation is
that of all men living in unbearable complicity with regimes that ignore justice and decency.
