Synopsis "Verano (in Spanish)"

Un joven biógrafo inglés está preparando un libro sobre el difunto escritor sudafricano John Coetzee. Sin haberlo conocido personalmente, el biógrafo se embarca en una serie de entrevistas con personas que fueron importantes en su vida. De sus testimonios emerge el retrato de un joven Coetzee algo torpe, rodeado de libros, con poca facilidad para abrirse a los demás y entregado a su imperiosa necesidad de escribir. Verano es la culminación de las memorias noveladas del Nobel sudafricano. Unas memorias que se completan con Infancia y Juventud.

J. M. Coetzee

John Maxwell Coetzee (Cape Town, 1940) is a South African writer naturalized Australian, known for his austere style and focus on themes such as power, identity, and ethics. He studied literature at the universities of Cape Town and Texas, and has been a professor at the University of Cape Town. In 2003, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his contribution to universal letters.

Among his most notable works are Life & Times of Michael K (1983), awarded the Booker Prize that same year, and Disgrace (1999), which also received the Booker Prize, making him the first author to win it twice. Other notable novels include Waiting for the Barbarians (1980), Foe (1986), and Elizabeth Costello (2003). His literary output includes novels, essays, and autobiographies.
