About this listen

J.M. Coetzee’s 1980 novel still has insight and meaning for us today as it grapples with how colonial power trickles down and through the individuals who administer it. Jay talks about how he selected this from Coetzee’s catalog of titles, and Stacey swoons over its selection, as she is a Coetzee completist. Chaos Reader starts a new book of poems.
