- ^ While Coetzee is pronounced [kutˈsiə] in modern Afrikaans, Coetzee himself pronounces it [kutˈseː]. Consequently, the BBC recommends the English approximation /kʊtˈsiː/ kuut-SEE based on his pronunciation.[1]
- ^ Many sources say that Coetzee went as a Fulbright scholar, but he has said this is not so, and Fulbright alumni searches here and here bear this out. Nor is he listed on the U.S. Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs's list of Fulbright alumni who have won the Nobel Prize. His bio in the 2012 edition of Diary of a Bad Year simply says "Between 1965 and 1968 Coetzee studied at the University of Texas".[15]
