I would also propose that this awareness of the insistence of the letter can account for the fact that Coetzee's fiction of the last decade (since The Master of Petersburg) operates at a fundamental level by literal recurrences--I will soon propose "dog" as one such insistent form; "shame" and "disgrace" are also likely candidates, as are the characteristic duplets in Disgrace ("burnt, burnt up," and the like).
