Verdict: carrot
Foe is a small sized novel written by the South African author, J.M Coetzee. Published by Viking Press in 1986, it is only a hundred and fifty seven pages. Coetzee retells Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe – a story about a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote island and is later rescued after several encounters with cannibals, insurgents and the likes.
The story is told from the viewpoint of Susan Barton, a woman who is on a mission to look for her daughter who has been kidnapped. She ends up as a castaway on the same island inhabited by Crusoe.
