Probyn, Fiona. J. M. Coetzee: Writing with/out authority "J. M. Coetzee’s use of the white woman narrator in three of his novels -- In the Heart of the Country (1979), Foe (1986) and Age of Iron (1990) -- is closely aligned to the poststructuralist configuration of the feminine as necessarily disruptive of narrative."
