## Bio

Born 9 February 1940 in South Africa, John Maxwell Coetzee built a career as novelist, essayist, linguist, and translator marked by relentless moral inquiry and formal control. The Booker came twice, the CNA Literary Award three times, then the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003 - a shelf of honors that made him one of the most decorated writers in English. In 2002 he moved to Australia, became a citizen in 2006, and settled in Adelaide. He serves as patron of the J. M. Coetzee Centre for Creative Practice at the University of Adelaide. His most recent work, The Pole and Other Stories, appeared in 2023.
