Elizabeth Costello: Acht Lehrstücke

Coetzee’s portrayal of Elizabeth feels deeply layered and nuanced. I wonder what inspired his approach to her moral and intellectual struggles.

The conversations about art, ethics, and human nature pushed me to rethink some of my own beliefs. Would love to hear if others felt the same or found certain parts dense.

This format makes the story feel like a continuous philosophical conversation. I’m curious if this was planned from the start or evolved during the writing process.
