About this listen
In a South Africa torn by civil war, Michael K sets out to take his mother back to her rural home. On the way there she dies, leaving him alone in an anarchic world of brutal roving armies. Imprisoned, Michael is unable to bear confinement and escapes, determined to live with dignity.
Life and Times of Michael K goes to the centre of human experience - the need for an interior, spiritual life, for some connections to the world in which we live, and for purity of vision.

a wonderful story
Too often stories are told of people of great importance and the Michael Kay's of the world go untold, worse we are for it.

Perfectly Ordinary
The Life and Times of Michael K is an ordinary story about an ordinary man written in an ordinary manner, that somehow coalesces in an offering of gentle, sad, ordinary beauty. It aches of a fractal life of millions the world over, and gradually leverages confrontation of our own place in it.
