          "Being a literature student in the mid-1980s during the maddest and baddest days, we regularly had arguments. Everyone was behind Gordimer and the Black Consciousness poets, but there was a question mark about JM Coetzee. I found Coetzee’s work invitingly baffling and challenging. Perhaps, I thought, Coetzee was doing something we couldn’t, or hadn’t yet, come to terms with. The counterargument was that he was clearly a problem because he was never banned."
