Lacuna: A Novel
(eBook)
The traumatized central character of J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace is provocatively reimagined in this "surprising, subtle, and deeply challenging" novel (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Two years ago, Lucy Lurie was the victim of an act of sexual violence that devastated her life. Afterwards, she becomes obsessed with the author John Coetzee, whose acclaimed novel turned her brutal assault into a literary metaphor. Withdrawn and fearful of crowds, Lucy nonetheless makes occasional forays into the world of men in her search for Coetzee himself. She means to confront him. The Lucy in his novel, Disgrace, is passive and almost entirely lacking agency. Lucy means to right the record, for she is the lacuna that Coetzee left in his novel-the missing piece of the puzzle. Lucy plans to put herself back in the story, to assert her agency and identity. For Lucy Lurie will be no man's lacuna. Lacuna is both a powerful feminist reply to the book considered to be Coetzee's masterwork, and the moving story of one woman's attempt to reclaim her identity after trauma.
