ELIZABETH COSTELLO is an Australian writer of international renown; she is feted, studied, honoured. Famous principally for an early novel that established her reputation and from which, it seems, she will never escape, she has reached the stage, late in life, where her remaining function is to be venerated and applauded. Coetzee's novel offers us a profound and delicate vision of literary celebrity, artistry and the private life of the mind. J. M.Coetzee is the winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize for Literature for Lifetime Achievement. ELIZABETH COSTELLO is his first novel following his Booker Prize-winning DISGRACE--his second.

[so] it is likely that he had no overall plan in mind for Elizabeth Costello and, indeed, had to rework a number of the individual texts to make them compatible for simultaneous publication.
