Title: A powerful postcolonial text
Review: "Life & Times of Michael K" tells the story of a man who lived in imposed silence for his entire life.J.M. Coetzee is a talented writer who effectively uses aspects of the English language such as irony and allegory to undermine society's value systems of power, history and language.This novel highlights the power politics of modern society and how it distorts the identity of those in the world who are marginalised.The changing viewpoints show how differently events are viewed by the colonised and the coloniser.This moving novel compels viewers to sympathise with the silenced Michael K as he lives off the land. It is truly an inspirations piece of postcolonial literature.
