South African author's novel commentary videoThe following are the relevant explanations of several novels by South African writers:
- J. M. Coetzee's Collection of Moral Stories: This is a collection of short stories, which contains seven stories, such as Dog, Story, etc. The work created distinctive characters through dialogue and psychological description, reflecting the thinking of human moral essence and life situation. It had the agility and enlightenment of philosophical speculation. Many words in the book were worth re-reading and could be read often after 20 years. For example, the conversation between mother and son in " The Old Woman and Cat " seemed to be about cats, but in fact, there was a deeper level of thinking about human perception.
- J.M. Coetzee's " The Master of Petersburg " was a novel written in 1994. It was set in Russia and began with Dostoevsky's investigation of the death of his stepson Pavel. This was a polytonic novel. Coetzee cut and fine-tuned Dostoevsky's life, works, characters, etc., forming a multi-layered text that reflected rich meanings. Through the description of the relationship between father and son, the novel reveals the complex emotional entanglement between father and son, exploring the theme of "father and son" and describing the historical period.
- Dion Meyer's Fever was a masterpiece of eschatology. The story is about a father and son surviving in the desolate South Africa, and the virus in the novel swept through 95% of the world's population in the 2016 horror frenzy. The novel predicted the spread of the new crown pneumonia-like virus from animals to humans and spread around the world. The characters in the book showed similarities with the new crown epidemic, such as being cautious about others.
- Martin Pistorius 'The Speechless: This is an autobiographical novel. When the author was 9 years old, he suddenly fell ill. His muscles atrophied, his limbs were paralyzed, and his brain gradually lost his memory. After six years of unconsciousness, his brain consciousness gradually recovered, but he was still unable to move, speak, and express his expression. Like an aphasiac, the people around him did not know that his consciousness had recovered.

As an African person, I was shocked seeing this novel. Although it seems the author is lazy to update chapters but the unique way of making African culture look cool. I like it
