The Pole : a novel / J.M. Coetzee. by Coetzee, J. M., 1940- author. New York, NY : Liveright Publishing Corporation, [2023] Subjects Pianists -- Fiction.   Man-woman relationships -- Fiction.   Adultery -- Fiction.   Infatuation -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781324093862 (hardcover) : 1324093862 (hardcover) Description:  167 pages ; 22 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Exacting yet unpredictable, pithy yet complex, Coetzee's The Pole tells the story of Wittold Walccyzkiecz, a vigorous, extravagantly white-haired pianist and interpreter of Chopin who becomes infatuated with Beatriz, a stylish patron of the arts, after she helps organize his concert in Barcelona. Although Beatriz, a married woman, is initially unimpressed by Wittold and his "gleaming dentures," she soon finds herself pursued and ineluctably swept into his world. As the journeyman performer sends her countless letters, extends invitations to travel, and even visits her husband's summer home in Mallorca, their unlikely relationship blossoms, though only on Beatriz's terms. The power struggle between them intensifies, eventually escalating into a full-fledged battle of the sexes. But is it Beatriz who limits their passion by paralyzing her emotions? Or is it Wittold, the old man at his typewriter, trying to force into life his dream of love? Reinventing the all-encompassing love of the poet Dante for his Beatrice, Coetzee exposes the fundamentally enigmatic nature of romance, showing how a chance meeting between strangers--even "a Pole, a man of seventy, a vigorous seventy," and a stultified "banker's wife who occupies her days in good works"--can suddenly change everything"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Coetzee Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Coetzee Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Coatzee Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Coetzee Checked out 06/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Coetzee Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Coetzee Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Lahaina Public Library Floating Collection Coetzee in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult New Books Coetzee Checked out 06/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Coetzee Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Coetzee Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
