Coatzee's Disgrace, so heavy. Thanks for the list. I also like Nadine Gordimer's works.

Long Walk To Freedom is the kind of book that makes you sit with how much patience real change actually takes. Recommend!

I recommend The Promise. It’s a novel that stays with you, long after reading. The writing is exceptional.
