'Coetzee herinnert ons eraan dat in het Engels liefde gepaard gaat met een val, falling in love, en hij stelt terecht: je kunt niet besluiten om te vallen. Zoals je ook niet besluiten kunt ouder te worden, voeg ik eraan toe.’ @arnonyy.bsky.social

Coetzee, Blanchot, and the Work of Writing: The Impersonality of Childhood | MediaTropes

Today, I find myself thinking a lot about this essay I published a decade ago. It has some unpopular ideas (unpopular within the Academy), but necessary ones on impersonality, isolation, and solitude. #coetzee #literarystudies

Coetzee and Greeff Win Big at Nedbank Power Pedal Series Finale Erasmus Shalihaxwe Drikus Coetzee and Anri Greeff were crowned champions of the Nedbank Windhoek Power Pedal (WPP) Race Series on Sunday after winning the men’s and women’s categories on the Heroes Acre bridge in Windhoek. Coetzee scored 970 points to win the men’s overall title. Roger Suren came second with 745 points, while Jacques Hanekom of Team Hollard placed third with 720 points. Hanekom was followed by teammate Martin Freyer, who finished in 02:34:39. Nicolaas Swart of Hollard Ambassadors crossed the line just behind him in 02:34:40. In the elite women’s category, Greeff defended her title with a time of 02:29:39. Marissa Mouton of Food Lovers Market Ladies also clocked 02:29:39 to take second place, followed by Rosemarie Thiel of CYMOT Ladies Racing Team, who finished in the same time. In the elite men’s team standings, Hollard took first place with 134 points. Team MBM Men followed with 117 points, while CYMOT Men’s Racing Team 2025 came third with 115 points. In the elite women’s team results, team Hollard, made up of Greeff, Louise Breed, Marion Schoneke, and Marguerite Verwey, claimed the title with 76 points.  Food Lovers Market Ladies team, featuring Marissa Mouton, Michelle Doman, Jana Von Backstrom, and Jacky Shipena, took second place with 58 points.  CYMOT Ladies Racing Team, which included Rosemarie Thiel, Nicola Fester, Jean Marie Mostert, and Susan Pieters, scored 52 points for third place. After the race, Hanekom said he was thrilled with his first elite race win and praised his teammate for a well-executed plan. “It is my first ever win, so I’m very excited. I couldn’t have won without my teammates, especially Martin (Freyer), who devised today’s strategy, which worked out perfectly for my victory,” said Hanekom. Greeff said she enjoyed the race despite the weather. “As a team, we are pleased to take positions one and two today, as well as the overall win. The tactic was to try to get the second position today. It’s good that I won today and the overall WPP series, so I am happy to defend the title,” she said.  She added that more races are coming up locally and possibly in South Africa. Race organiser Stefanus Feris from the Windhoek Pedal Power Road Cycling Club said they had a good turnout throughout the season. “We had a successful season in terms of participation. In our previous race, we had excellent competition and a quality field. The ladies were also quite strong this year. The younger riders are coming through very strong as well,” he said. He pointed out that planning routes, ensuring cyclist safety, and dealing with unexpected issues like wild animals on the route were among the main challenges. “The safety concern is always our main priority. When you start to plan races, the riders need to be safe. We also had to consider that other road users may become agitated by the presence of cyclists. We always try to minimise all these dangers and get the riders safely to the finish line,” he said. He added that they plan to introduce new events next season and may bring the Dordabis race back to the calendar. Nedbank Namibia’s communication and public relations manager, Selma Kaulinge, congratulated WPP on a successful season. “On behalf of Nedbank Namibia, I extend our warmest congratulations to the Windhoek Pedal Power Road Cycling Club for executing yet another exceptional cycling season, culminating in six successful races for 2025. As money experts who do good, we are immensely proud of our long-standing association with WPP and the incredible work they do to elevate the profile of cycling in our nation. Nedbank Namibia remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting cycling events that not only showcase athletic prowess but also foster community spirit and healthy lifestyles,” she said.

This work titled "Ophelia" is by the South African artist Christo Coetzee and was one of his most prized possessions. The painting is a close-up of a young Spanish woman depicting Ophelia from the Shakespearean play, Hamlet. Many painters (especially British), depicted Ophelia after she unalived herself and flowers were often painted as accessories. Coetzee flipped this by having the flowers in her hair rather than the usual pose of holding flowers. Coetzee's painterly style evokes a dreamy, romantic atmosphere with a lavish crown of stylized roses and ribbons. Her face is rendered with soft, blended colors, giving her an ethereal quality. Her eyes, a striking shade of light green, are large and expressive while her pale skin has subtle hints of rosy blush on her cheeks plus lips painted a delicate reddish-pink. The artist has employed a technique that softens the lines of her face, resulting in a somewhat androgynous effect. Surrounding her head is a magnificent flow of pale roses in various shades of white, cream, and blush pink interspersed with small white flowers and green and brown leaves, lending a sense of natural abundance. Light blue ribbons are woven among the flowers, emphasizing the luxuriousness of the headdress while suggesting a sense of both elegance and freedom. A Spanish aristocrat once offered to purchase this painting, but Coetzee refused as it remained one of the artist's prized possessions. The Johannesburg born Coetzee pursued his art studies at the Slade School of Art in London to complement his fine art degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. Later, he moved to Europe and become part of the Stadler Stable in Paris before moving to Finestrat in Spain. Later, Coetzee went to Japan where he joined the Gutai Group, the first radical Art Group in post-war Japan. It was there that Coetzee developed his famous art style that ultimately classified him as one of South Africa's leading avant-garde artists.

Casi lo he terminado, pero con el lío que tengo últimamente no he podido comentar nada por aquí… Estoy leyendo mi segundo libro de este año de J. M. #Coetzee, Elizabeth Costello. Interesante, aunque no me está pareciendo tan bueno como Slow Man. #Booksky #Currentreading

Can't stop feeling, perhaps fancifully, that it's also my day! After two decades of reading everything written by her and reading everything else, #Derrida, #Marx, #Coetzee, through her, getting marginalized and ridiculed (even in job interviews) for this passion, and yet believing in her work ...
