A divorced, middle-aged English professor finds himself increasingly unable to resist affairs with his female students. When discovered by the college authorities, he is expected to apologise and repent in an effort to save his job, but he refuses to become a scapegoat in what he see as as a show trial designed to reinforce a stringent political correctness. He preempts the authorities and leaves his job, and the city, to spend time with his grown-up lesbian daughter on her remote farm. Things between them are strained - there is much from the past they need to reconcile - and the situation becomes critical when they are the victims of a brutal and horrifying attack. In spectacularly powerful and lucid prose, Coetzee uses all his formidable skills to engage with a post-apartheid culture in unexpected and revealing ways. This examination into the sexual and poliitcal lawlines of modern South Africa as it tries desperately to start a fresh page in its history is chilling, uncompromising and unforgettable.

一、 〈耻〉读了。居然是一部典型的传统现实主义之作。本来听说库切小说文本很新。但耻不管怎么说是比较现实主义的。〈耻〉艺术上是非常通畅的,语言精炼、冷峻、也有力度。故事也很清爽,一点没有拖泥带水。应该说是很好读的。从这部作品看我总觉得库切有一种欧洲传统现实...

评分库切的“Disgrace”中文版叫做“耻”。虽然简明利落,但读完小说就会发觉这个翻译失却了一点味道,因为小说的点睛之处,就在于“grace”怎样被“Dis(否定)”掉。其落魄之情在书的封面就已经开始。 库切擅长于处理落魄。这本书写的是一个“高贵”的知识分子如何高贵地落魄...
