Title: Too Close to the Truth for Comfort
Product review: I am 65 years old. I find that Coetzee, like W.G. Sebald, always trespasses too closely to the truth for my comfort. He makes me even more uneasy than I already am. Yet knowing this is of no help. I know I'll die with the same unavoidable regrets and misconceptions that Coetzee has. The fact is that our existence is painful from almost every angle that you peer at it from. It is painful up close and from a distance. It is lonely. It is all about missed opportunities and loss.
