“Slow man” by JM Coetzee

“Slow Man is a 2005 novel by South African-born Nobel laureate JM Coetzee, and concerns a man who must learn to adapt after losing a leg in a road accident. The novel has many varied themes, including the nature of care, the relationship between an author and his characters, and man's drive to leave a legacy. It was Coetzee's first novel since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003.”
