A novelist and literary critic as well as a translator, Coetzee won the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature.Coetzee has gained many awards throughout his career, although he has a reputation for avoiding award ceremonies.His novel Waiting for the Barbarians was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, and he is three-times winner of the CNA Prize.Age of Iron was awarded the the Sunday Express Book of the Year award,and The Master of Petersburg was awarded the Irish Times International Fiction Prize in 1995.He has also won the French Prix Femina Étranger, the Commonwealth Writers Prize, and the 1987 Jerusalem Prize for the Freedom of the Individual in Society. He was the first author to be awarded the Booker Prize twice: first for Life & Times of Michael K in 1983, and again for Disgrace in 1999. Only one author has matched this since – Peter Carey, an Australian. Coetzee has also made the longlist for the 2009 prize for Summertime and, as of 29 July 2009, is the favourite to win.He was also longlisted in 2003 for Slow Man and in 2005 for Elizabeth Costello. On 2 October 2003 it was announced that he was to be the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the fourth African writer to be so honoured, and the second South African after Nadine Gordimer.When awarding the prize, the Swedish Academy stated that Coetzee in innumerable guises portrays the surprising involvement of the outsider. The press release for the award also cited his well-crafted composition, pregnant dialogue and analytical brilliance, while focusing on the moral nature of his work. The prize ceremony was held in Stockholm on 10 December 2003. Coetzee was awarded the Order of Mapungubwe (gold class) by the South African government on 27 September 2005 for his exceptional contribution in the field of literature and for putting South Africa on the world stage.
