Attridge, Derek, and Rosemary Jolly, eds., Writing South Africa, Cambridge University Press, 1998.

In the last years of apartheid the world paid a lot of attention to the great literature being produced in South Africa. This book captures some of the breadth and depth of that writing, and there are several references to Coetzee.

Attwell, David, J. M. Coetzee, University of California Press, 1993.

Attwell is a professor at a college in South Africa. He offers a critical look into Coetzee's major works, demonstrating how Coetzee's works are complex analyses of the politics in South Africa.

Huggan, Graham, and Stephen Watson, Critical Perspective on J. M. Coetzee, with a preface by Nadine Gordimer, Palgrave Macmillan, 1996.

In this collection of critical essays, Coetzee's works are analyzed with respect to how he deals with colonialism, national violence, and the manipulation of language to promote the ideals of state.
