Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago. He seemed 3 by the news he won the $1.3 million prize. "It came as a complete surprise. I wasn’t even aware they were due to make the announcement," he said. His 4 of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend the prize-giving in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10.

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to all English-speaking family, Coetzee 6 his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel Waiting for the Barbarians. He 7 his place among the world’s leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britain’s highest honour for novels. He first 8 in 1983 for the Life and Times of Michael K and his second title came in 1999 for Disgrace. A major theme in his work is South Africa’s former apartheid system, which divided whites from blacks. 9 with the problems of violence, crime and racial division that still exist in the country, his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid 10 within.

I hope I have made one or two people think 12 about whether they want to forget the past completely." In fact this purity in his writing seems to be 13 in his personal life. Coetzee is a vegetarian, a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn’t drink alcohol. But what he has 14 to literature, culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up.
