  • Elizabeth Costello is a 2003 novel by South African-born Nobel Laureate J. M. Coetzee. In this novel, Elizabeth Costello, a celebrated aging Australian writer, travels around the world and gives lectures on topics including the lives of animals and literary censorship. In her youth, Costello wrote The House on Eccles Street, a novel that re-tells James Joyce's Ulysses from the perspective of the protagonist's wife, Molly Bloom. Costello, becoming weary from old age, confronts her fame, which seems further and further removed from who she has become, and struggles with issues of belief, vegetarianism, sexuality, language and evil. Many of the lectures Costello gives are edited fragments that Coetzee had previously published. The lessons she delivers only tenuously speak to the work for which she is being honored. Of note, Elizabeth Costello is the main character in Coetzee's academic novel, The Lives of Animals (1999). A character named Elizabeth Costello also appears in Coetzee's 2005 novel Slow Man and Coetzee's 2011 short story Lies is about a woman with the last name Costello. (en)

  • Elizabeth Costello è un'opera di John Maxwell Coetzee, scrittore anglofono sudafricano, insignito del Premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 2003. Si tratta di un vero e proprio romanzo-saggio, strutturato in otto Lezioni (sei nella edizione italiana) e con una lettera conclusiva; la protagonista, Elizabeth appunto, viene chiamata a partecipare a varie conferenze e dibattiti, in occasione dei quali affronta una tematica diversa. Il personaggio di Elizabeth aveva fatto la sua comparsa per la prima volta nel 1999 all'interno del saggio La vita degli animali, saggio che verrà inserito interamente nella edizione inglese ed americana di Elizabeth Costello ma che verrà omesso nella edizione italiana. Elizabeth è una scrittrice ormai anziana e celebre che difende con forza le proprie convinzioni nonostante l'avanzare dell'età; attraverso la sua voce è Coetzee stesso a parlare, ad esprimere le riflessioni maturate dopo numerosi anni dedicati realmente alla scrittura e gli argomenti trattati sono quindi molteplici: dalla concezione letteraria di Realismo a quella estetica di Eros, dal problema del Male al Vegetarianesimo. Il confine tra generi si fa sempre più labile e il testo è difficilmente classificabile come semplice romanzo o saggio, includendo talvolta inserti epistolari (come la lettera che Elizabeth scrive alla sorella) o veri e propri passi metalinguistici.
