About this ebook:
Un desolato centro residenziale di una città di provincia a soli centosessanta chilometri da Città del Capo, Worcester («un purgatorio dal quale bisogna passare per forza»). Un ragazzino di dieci anni, l'io-narrante, che, chiuso in una solitudine sempre piú grande, cerca a tutti i costi di andare oltre l'infanzia («un periodo in cui bisogna stringere i denti»), oltre le mura di quel suo «buco di casa» perso in un mucchio di costruzioni identiche, oltre i confini sempre piú angusti di un Sudafrica in balia dei nazionalisti, oltre l'esistenza ordinaria, «imbarazzante», e infine fallimentare del padre, oltre l'«amore assoluto» della madre, la «cosa più salda della sua vita», e la più indecifrabile. Il sentirsi profondamente inadeguato nei confronti delle «prove» della vita di tutti i giorni diventa un'ossessione che il protagonista maschererà trincerandosi dietro le apparenze di studente modello, dietro il mito di sé (diviso tra le origini afrikaner e il suo desiderio di essere un vero eroe, come sono ai suoi occhi gli inglesi), covando però nell'intimo passioni «inconfessabili», predilezioni scomode, sbagliate, e il cupo senso di colpa che ad esse si accompagna.Con lo stile asciutto e spietato che lo caratterizza, con una lucidità capace di toccare il cuore segreto delle cose, in questo ultimo libro - il più intimo dei suoi romanzi - Coetzee fruga nel labirintico sentimento del mondo di un ragazzino che cerca di costruirsi un'identità nel coacervo di etnie, lingue, religioni del Sudafrica a cavallo degli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta, al di là di ogni pregiudizio.Infanzia è la storia della solitaria ricerca di un destino diverso, radicato nella terra, nelle fattorie del veld, «luoghi di libertà e di vita».

It was adequate. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.

Excellent, though slightly flawed. It held my rapt attention, even when certain twists were telegraphed. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

A highly sophisticated read. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this to discerning readers.
