जीवनी लेखन की विडंबना यह है कि इसमें कुछ विवरण बहुत महत्वपूर्ण होते हैं, जबकि कई विवरणों का कोई मतलब ही नहीं होता।
It is one of the ironies of biographical art that some details are more relevant than others, and many details have no relevance at all.

'ब्लांच' को एक भयानक अधिकार के साथ लिखा गया है—वह अधिकार जो किसी लेखक के भीतर की कलात्मक बेचैनी से पैदा होता है, जब उसे कोई एजेंट या प्रमोटर नहीं बल्कि उसका अपना अंतर्मन लिखने के लिए मजबूर करता है।
Blanche is written with a terrible authority, the authority that comes from artistic necessity when the writer is compelled to write by his demon, rather than by his agent or promoter.

'डिग्रेस' एक बेहद बारीक और कई परतों वाली कहानी है, जो राजनीति के साथ-साथ इंसानी जिस्म की फितरत से भी उतनी ही जुड़ी हुई है। कोएट्ज़ी की लेखन शैली बिना किसी दिखावे के बेहद साफ-सुथरी और काव्यात्मक है: इतनी शांत और सजी हुई शैली में पढ़ना अपने आप में एक सुकूनभरा अनुभव है। हालांकि, अपने प्रस्तावित ओपेरा के संदर्भ में लूरी की संगीत-क्षमता मुझे पूरी तरह से वज़नदार नहीं लगी, लेकिन मेरी बस यही एक शिकायत है।
Disgrace is a subtle, multi-layered story, as much concerned with politics as it is with the itch of male flesh. Coetzee's prose is chaste and lyrical without being self- conscious: it is a relief to encounter writing as quietly stylish as this. I was not totally convinced by Lurie's musical abilities, with regard to his proposed opera, but that is my sole complaint.
