Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to present the works of John Maxwell Coetzee from the perspective of disability studies. By conducting a cross-sectional analysis of selected novels from the early and late period of the Nobel Prize laureate’s works, the author tries to show how the ethical and narrative aspects of Coetzee’s novels contribute to challenging the normative models of portraying disability, consistently reproduced in traditional literary works and cultural discourses.
