Description: In this article, I argue that Coetzee's writing, being alienated from history but unable to transcend it, is forced to treat its own representations with a measure of suspicion. By extension, the Coetzee text is always divided against itself. It is, in the idiom of hospitality, never quite at home with itself because it is aware that home is premised on exclusion, on the existence of an outsider, one for whom home is not a home.
