Description
Boyhood's young narrator grew up in a small country town. With a father he imitated but could not respect; and a mother he both adored and resented; he picked his way through a world that refused to explain its rules; but whose rules he knew he must obey. Steering between these contradictions; Boyhood evokes the tensions; delights and terrors of childhood with startling; haunting immediacy. Coetzee examines his young self with the dispassionate curiosity of an explorer rediscovering his own early footprints; and the account of his progress is bright; hard and simply compelling.
