The coming weekend's New York Times Book Review includes Walter Kirn's positive assessment of South Africa Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee's new collection of literary criticism, Inner Workings: Literary Criticism, 2000-2005. The concluding paragraph asserts: “Inner Workings is Coetzee's master class, and he honors us, too, by letting us sit in on it, despite our spotty preparation and the hasty ways we may use it.”
