Man of Few Words
Everyone chases success, but not all of US want to be famous.
South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is【C1】______for keeping himself to himself. When the 63-year-old was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature earlier this month, reporters were warned that they would find him"particularly difficult to【C2】______. "
Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago. He seemed【C3】______by the news he won the $1.3 million prize. "It came as a complete surprise. I wasn’t even aware they were due to make the announcement, "he said.
His【C4】______of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend the prize-giving in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10.
But despite being described as【C5】______to track down, we critics agree that his writing is easy to get to know.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to all English-speaking family, Coetzee【C6】______his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel" Waiting for the Barbarians". He【C7】______his place among the world’s leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britain’s highest honour for novels. He first【C8】______in 1983 for the"Life and Times of Michael K" and his second title came in 1999 for "Disgrace".
A major theme in his work is South Africa’s former apartheid system, which divided whites from blacks.【C9】______with the problems of violence, crime and racial division that still exist in the country, his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid【C10】______within.
"I have always been more interested in the past than the future, "he said in a rare interview. "The past【C11】______its shadow over the present. I hope I have made one or two people think【C12】______about whether they want to forget the past completely. "
In fact this purity in his writing seems to be【C13】______in his personal life. Coetzee is a vegetarian, a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn’t drink alcohol.
But what he has【C14】______to literature, culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up. "In looking at weakness and failure in life, " the Nobel prize judging panel said, "Coetzee’s work【C15】______the divine spark in man. "
