From an interview with Nick Clegg in the Guardian magazine today:
Which living person do you most admire, and why? JM Coetzee – he writes with a simplicity which lays bare what really matters.

What is your favourite book? Life & Times Of Michael K, by JM Coetzee.
Funny to think what an absolutely perfect choice is for a politicians favorite novel, and funnier to think what a catastrophic choice Disgrace would be…
–Who won, Mr Lenehan? says Terry.
—Throwaway, says he, at twenty to one. A rank outsider. And the rest nowhere.
