Synopsis
The writer Elizabeth Costello was a character in Coetzee's 1999 novel THE LIVES OF ANIMALS. In this novel, the eponymous Elizabeth, now aging, gives lectures, writes about other people's books, and participates in a variety of literary and philosophical conversations--all of which not only reveal her as a human being but mirror Coetzee's own recent nonfiction works. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Industry reviews
"But does ELIZABETH COSTELLO succeed artistically, as a work of fiction? The answer is yes, but more despite its metafictional superstructure than because of it....Coetzee's success in this quixotic enterprise shouldn't surprise us. Every time he attains greatness in a novel, it is by bringing us inside a character whose most salient feature is that he or she is old."
New York Times Book Review - Judith Shulevitz (10/26/2003)

"This is a curious, and curiously unsatisfactory, book that nevertheless, and despite its faults, resonates in the mind long after it has been put aside."
Nation - John Banville (11/03/2003)

"As argument, literate, impassioned, and disturbing...."
Kirkus  (09/01/2003)
