J.M. Coetzee
"I am not a herald of community or anything else. I am someone who has intimations of freedom (as every chained prisoner has) and constructs representations of people slipping their chains and turning their faces to the light."
J.M. Coetzee’s support was instrumental in the establishment of Oak Tree Fine Press and the First Chapter Booker Prize Series. To date, we have published three limited editions signed by Coetzee, including our very first publication, The Life and Times of Michael K, Disgrace and The Vietnam Project, which incorporates the full text of the novella from his first work, Dusklands.

Novels by J. M. Coetzee
“J.M. Coetzee's novels are characterised by their well-crafted composition, pregnant dialogue and analytical brilliance. But at the same time he is a scrupulous doubter, ruthless in his criticism of the cruel rationalism and cosmetic morality of western civilisation. It is in exploring weakness and defeat that Coetzee captures the divine spark in man.”
