Fire Pool: Experiences in an Abnormal World | 
In the Book Lounge on Roeland Street, there are no works by Coetzee on the shelves. A little sign tells you to ask at the counter, as if for 19th-century pornography. Coetzee, the staff informed me, is a regularly shoplifted author. This makes him part of an exclusive club that includes William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Gabriel Garcia Marquez...and Paulo Coelho.
Jari-chan Aww, floofy friend doesn't care about the book 😸 4mo
Leftcoastzen 😻Bukowski used to be in the most stolen group. 4mo
Ruthiella That‘s an odd group of authors to be collected together like that. Is it a South African thing? Why not, say, Nadine Gordimer? 4mo

charl08 @Ruthiella I have no idea. He does say at the end of the essay that he thinks the Coetzee moment is over (ten years after originally writing it). 4mo
