Quite a few years back, the other literature thread recommended Coetzee as a good way of wading into more serious reading. He's since become an author I greatly enjoy and I would echo that advice here. Waiting for the Barbarians is a short meditation on colonialism by an unnamed magistrate on life at the edge of a sprawling empire, and the political complications that result thereof. I recently found out it was greatly influenced by The Tartar Steppe and plan on reading that soon, possibly after a reread because I haven't read Coetzee's novel since 2016 or so.
