The South African novelist J.M. Coetzee is the recipient of the 1985 Prix Femina Étranger, the 1999 Book Prize, and the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature, described as "inarguably the most celebrated and decorated" living writer in the Anglosphere (Poplak, 2013).

It is "[a] realistic fable, at once stark, exciting, and economical" (The New York Times Book Review). . Basis for the 1985 motion picture, Dust, directed by Marion Hänsel.
