    A view of himself, imagined through the eyes of others, J.M Coetzee?s Summertime is a novel combination ? autobiographical fiction. Fascinatingly self-deprecating, the author paints himself as a secondary character within his own life; choosing to include himself in the stories of other people?s lives rather than viewing them as bit part players in his own. This narrative structure is picked up by a young English biographer, who in trying to find out more about the late Coetzee, embarks on a series of interviews with various characters from the author?s past. The observations are honest and at times bleak, making this a tremendously unique and honourable story.
