The Schooldays of Jesus is a 2016 novel by J. M. Coetzee. In July 2016, it was longlisted for the 2016 Man Booker Prize.
Background and publication
It is Coetzee's 13th novel and is a sequel to the 2013 novel The Childhood of Jesus.[1] It was published in Australia in February 2016[2][3] and in the UK in August 2016.[4]
It was also published in Spanish translation,[5] partly because it relates to Coetzee's interest in Argentine literature and resisting what he calls the "hegemony of the English language",[6] and Chinese,[7] and in ebook, audiobook, and Braille editions.[8]
Synopsis
It resumes the story of a young boy named David, who appears in The Childhood of Jesus, who is brought up in a foreign land.[1]
