J.M. Coetzee

“Orpheus instead of Apollo. The ecastatic instead of the rational. Someone who changes form, changes colour, according to his surroundings. Someone who appeals to women. Because it is women who live closest to the ground. Someone who moves among the people, whom they can touch - put their hand into the side of, feel the wound, smell the blood.”

J.M. Coetzee, Elizabeth Costello
