Resumen
SHEINBAUM, Diego. J. M. Coetzee: in the alley of Samuel Beckett. Acta poét [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.1, pp.71-85. ISSN 2448-735X.
The author shows the influence of Samuel Beckett's work in the oeuvre of the South African writer. He analyzes the first two novels of J. M. Coetzee, Dusklands (1974) and In the Hearth of the Country (1977) in order to explain how their protagonists share the solipsism of Beckett's characters; however, their fate changes under the logic of colonialism. From this zero degree of writing, the characters of the South African novelist begin a journey that, in philosophical terms, takes them from the Cartesian ego towards the horizon of Hegelian recognition.
