Title: An important treatise on FREEDOM
Review: South Africa once delivered one M.K.(Gandhi) who taught the world a thing or two about freedom and now comes the second one, M.(Michael)K, through Coetzee. True freedom is the state where one can assert "I do not belong to any camp" and it does not come easy. Freedom also must exclude "dependence on charity" and the temptations are not easy to overcome at times. Michael K succeeded in both the aspects and the novel enumerates the price one has to prepare for. A remarkable novel. And the language! After Naipaul it is difficult to name another author with such mastery and such effective use of language!
