초록
Critics are inclined to interpret J.M. Coetzee’s novels in South African contexts, which Coetzee’s own background seems to support. One has to bear in mind, however, that Coetzee tends to “see the South African situation as only one manifestation of a wider historical situation to do with colonialism, late colonialism, neo-colonialism.” In other words, putting too much emphasis on South African contexts may diminish or undermine significance of Coetzee’s multi-layered novels. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to highlight what Coetzee has to say about American colonialism/imperialism and to emphasize importance of “postcolonial rhetoric of simultaneity” which is repeatedly shown in his fictional works. It gives a meticulous attention to and analyzes “Vietnam Project,” the first novella of Dusklands, Coetzee’s very first novel, which depicts and characterizes “what Chomsky in the context of Vietnam [War] called ‘the backroom boys.’” “The Narrative of Jacobus Coetzee,” “When a Woman Grows Older,” and Diary of a Bad Year are occasionally brought into discussion as well. This kind of study seems timely and pertinent especially when we take into account the rampant American imperialism which has devastated and almost traumatized the world.
