Taking as our primary sources the following texts:
Zakes Mda, Ways of Dying, Cape Town: Oxford UP, 1995. John M. Coetzee, Disgrace [1999], Harmondsworth: Penguin, 2000. Marlene van Niekerk, The Way of the Women [Agaat, 2004], London: Abacus, 2008.
we'll explore contemporary South African fiction in some detail. While engaging in close reading of the novels, we'll be on the lookout for the parallels as well as the contrasts in these texts. What, can we venture to say, is specifically 'South African' about them?
