She wants him to tell her story, and that of the enigmatic man who has become her rescuer, companion, master and sometimes lover: Cruso. Cruso is dead, and his manservant, Friday, is incapable of speech. As she tries to relate the truth about him, the ambitious Barton cannot help turning Cruso into her invention. For as narrated by Foe—as by Coetzee himself—the stories we thought we knew acquire depths that are at once treacherous, elegant, and unexpectedly moving.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47679554945186,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/images_32b6f75d-2604-4718-a2bb-05fd87cbf8c7.jpg?v=1789724797","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/foe-by-j-m-coetzee-1","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
