John M. Coetzee, Distinguished Service Professor in the Committee
on Social Thought at the University of Chicago, has received
the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. He was cited for his work
which "in innumerable guises portrays the surprising involvement of
the outsider." He has taught at Chicago since 1996 and been a professor
here since 2001.
A scholar of literature who has written on the language, ethics and
politics of figures ranging from Erasmus to Tolstoy and Kafka, Coetzee
is best known as the only writer to have twice won the Booker prize,
Britain's highest honor for fiction. Both his fiction and nonfiction
have provided insights into the problems of violence, censorship, and
how people treat those different from themselves. Among Coetzee's
academic writings are Giving Offense: Essays on Censorship, The Lives
of Animals, and White Writing: On the Culture of Letters in South Africa.
Among his recent literary writings are Disgrace and
Youth: Scenes from Provincial Life II.
Educated at the University of Cape Town, where he earned B.A.s with honors
in English (1960) and Mathematics (1961), Coetzee was awarded an M.A. in
English there in 1963. After travel to Britain, he completed Ph.D. work
in English at the University of Texas, Austin in 1969. Coetzee has
taught at the State University of New York and the University of Cape Town,
as well as Harvard and Johns Hopkins. Coetzee has also been awarded the
Jerusalem Prize, the Commonwealth Literary Award, and the rank of
Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in the Royal Society
of Literature.
