Coetzee works very hard to make Costello seem dated, even ridiculous - emphasizing her age, her son's embarrassment, her lack of conviction, or rather her conviction that a lack of conviction is the author's role. Why?

I've been on-board through several selections, but now I really wonder whether it would occur to a female writer to write worshipfully about breasts like this. Cf. John Steinbeck. Caritas=breastfeeding.
