19(xix) disgrace, j. m. coetzee

having read this i am now interested in seeing the movie, the book is clearly about race and its implications in south africa and yet no one person's skin colour is described explicitly. i guess it would warrant reading again but i need time away from the somewhat minimal plot before i'm going to want to read for the details in the writing, i think. doesn't really help either that i am also reading 3 other books at the moment.
