interregnum

the movie disgrace is about to hit the circuit. based on the book of the same name, by the now former south african authour, jm coetzee. by all accounts the movie marries itself well to the esence of the book. if that is true then i for one am looking forward to it. the book was extremely well written, nuanced when it needed to be, deliberate & obvious when otherwise. coetzee managed to both offend and reveal interesting insights about the interregnum: ala apartheid to happy ever after. anyway read/see the whole thing for yourselves and determine its worth. the already evident cringe-factor is that the casting is all americana. nothing, absolutely nothing was foriegn about the book and its narrative.
