Beyond Representation is an important new study that establishes and develops innovative links between the sites of postcolonial literary theory, the fiction of Nobel Prize-winning writer, J.M. Coetzee, and the work of French poststructuralist philosopher, Gilles Deleuze. Undoubtedly, this text will become essential reading to all those who are interested in either Coetzee's writing, the work of Deleuze, or contemporary debates on postcolonial literature and culture.
