This engaging summary presents an analysis of Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee. The novel follows the university professor David Lurie, who goes to live with his daughter Lucy on her smallholding after he is unceremoniously dismissed from his teaching post for seducing a student. There, he gets a glimpse of the new South Africa that has emerged following the end of apartheid and experiences a brutal attack that permanently alters his relationship with his daughter and his outlook on the world. Disgrace won the Man Booker Prize in 1999, making Coetzee the first writer to receive the award twice (following his 1983 win with Life and Times of Michael K).
