J.M. Coetzee's illuminating letters of introduction Aug 4, 2007
On the basis of brief descriptions and short quotations the reader is free to conjure up a figure who may not much resemble the artist in question but is rich in associations anyway and who will do - will have to do - for now (which sometimes, sadly, is all the time one has).
