I noticed today that Coetzee actually has a novel, Foe, which is a reinvention of Robinson Crusoe. After looking at descriptions of all of Coetzee's novels today, Coetzee is an author who examines the art of storytelling and narration in most of his works. For example, Diary of a Bad Year is told in three simultaneous voices. On a single page of Diary the reader experiences all three voices in a horizontal column form.
