The Schooldays of Jesus is a 2016 novel by J. M. Coetzee. In July 2016, it was longlisted for the 2016 Man Booker Prize.
It is Coetzee's 13th novel and is a sequel to the 2013 novel The Childhood of Jesus. [1] It was published in Australia in February 2016 [2] [3] and in the UK in August 2016. [4]
It was also published in Spanish translation, [5] partly because it relates to Coetzee's interest in Argentine literature and resisting what he calls the " hegemony of the English language", [6] and Chinese, [7] and in ebook, audiobook, and Braille editions. [8]
It resumes the story of a young boy named David, who appears in The Childhood of Jesus, who is brought up in a foreign land. [1]
