J.M. Coetzee, quite a senior but still a prolific author of our time, relentlessly pursues solutions to the present problems of multinational, multicultural settings using his texts as means, and this feature of him makes Coetzee a living sage, a dependable source for the readers to see and discuss the so-called problems through his lenses. Considering his four novels as the starting point of this article we aim to compare the problems displayed in his South African years (between 1990-1999) in Age of Iron and Disgrace to his novels produced in his Australian years (between 2005-2007) in the Slow Man and the Diary of a Bad Year. The position of the white- elite Westerner will be the main focus in the discussion in changing geographies and decades in the article, however, it will be clarified as well that it is Coetzee’s unchanging motto to provide his reader with different points of views through the challenging characters he places next to his chosen protagonist.

Dönemimizin oldukça kıdemli ama yine de üretken bir yazarı olan J.M. Coetzee, metinlerini bir araç olarak kullanarak çok uluslu, çok kültürlü ortamların mevcut sorunlarına çözümler öneriyor ve bu özelliği Coetzee'yi okuyucuları için sorunları onun gözünden görmek ve tartışmak konusunda güvenilir bir kaynak, yaşayan bir bilge haline getiriyor. Coetzee’nin seçilen dört romanını bu makalenin başlangıç noktası olarak kabul ederek, Güney Afrika yıllarında (1990-1999 yılları arasında) Demir Çağı ve Utanç romanlarında gösterilen sorunları, Avustralya yıllarında (2005-2007 yılları arasında) yayınlanan Yavaş Adam ve Kötü Bir Yılın Güncesi romanlarıyla karşılaştırmayı hedefliyoruz. Batılı beyaz-elit bireyin konumu, makaledeki değişen coğrafyaların ve on yılların tartışılmasındaki ana odak noktası olacak, ancak Coetzee’nin seçtiği kahramanlarının yanına yerleştirdiği zorlu karakterlerle okurlarına farklı bakış açıları sunması durumunun onun değişmez bir ilkesi olduğu da açıklığa kavuşturulacaktır.
