Life and Times of Michael K by J. M. Coetzee tells the story of Michael K, a simple gardener with a harelip, navigating a South Africa torn by civil war. Seeking peace, he carries his sick mother toward her rural birthplace, but after her death, he survives alone on the land. Arrested and confined, he resists authority through silence and withdrawal. Coetzee’s novel meditates on freedom, dignity, endurance and the quiet power of living beyond societal control.
