This looks very tidy, doesn't it? But Coetzee's text is not quite as tidy as, say, Heart of Darkness. What makes it messy (and that much more interesting) is the impossibility of the bulk of the narrative actually being Jacobus Coetzee's own words / text / ideas (leaving aside, for the moment, the added inconvenience of "Jacobus Coetzee" being a character in a novel rather than a "real" person.....).

Thank you for this; it is a great way to visualize the various narrators and their "sequence" in the novel.
