| Samenvatting: | J.M. Cotzee’s Disgrace addresses the question of racial relationships in post-apartheid South Africa. Although the novel can be read as a simple, linear and almost banal story, it proves complex in its construction and subtle in its characterization. The limpidity of style and lyricism are only a surface appearance in a text which contains numerous intertextual references as well as mythical undertones. Disgrace is also a plea for biological hybridity. |
