Michael K explores the weight of history and of conscience, thus wrestling the character from the confines of literary creation to the frontiers of artistic timelessness and contemporary South Africa.

I wrestled with life and lost."" So begins the story of Michael, a lawyer known to his colleagues and associates as Sir Marvin, who picks his way - sometimes delicately, but often in his own blundering way - through the intricacies that make up a life: love and anger, humility and ambition, trust and distrust, selfishness and selflessness.
