Most 80-year old Nobel laureates would be satisfied with their decades of acclaim, collecting royalty checks and making life hell for their nurses. Apparently, however, that is not enough for J.M. Coetzee, the South African-born author of 17 novels, both fictional and autobiographical, and two collections of short stories.
