Books by Marlene Van Niekerk

5. Novels : My favorite Coetzee is Disgrace , though I like most of them very much, including the early Life and Times of Michael K and Waiting for the Barbarians and the later semi-autobiographical works.  Nadine Gordimer I find unreadable, call the fault mine.  Same with Alan Paton.  A dark horse pick is Trionf . Agaat sits in my pile, waiting for the trip of the right length.
