Description
A cry for reparations for Lucy Lurie, the victim of an act of terrible and devastating sexual violence. Afterwards, stricken by PTSD, Lucy becomes obsessed with the author John Coetzee, the man who wrote the scene of violence in which she was attacked. Withdrawn and fearful of crowds, Lucy nonetheless makes occasional forays into the world of men in her search for Coetzee himself.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; she is hardly present and all, and this 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. At once a riveting, feminist reply to the book considered to be Nobel Prize-winner J.M. Coetzee's masterwork and a moving story of one woman trying to put her life back together after a trauma, Lacuna is Fiona Snycker's American debut.
