A marvelous return to form for Coetzee. The writing is precise, even cold, which is perfect for this type of story filled with murky intentions and miscommunication. It's a wonderfully tense read, not just because of the power dynamics between Witold and Beatriz, but the way Coetzee structures the novel. "The Pole" will stick with me as much as some of his best works, like "Disgrace" and "Foe".
