Titular Space in J.M. Coetzee's <i>Summertime</i>: A Maquette for a Portrait, or a Self-Portrait, of the Artist Finding his Feet

This essay considers the title of J.M. Coetzee’s Summertime from the perspective of a remark Coetzee makes in Doubling the Point that ‘all writing is autobiographical,’ and posits a concept of ‘titular space’ tropologically exceeding the ‘reality effect’ envisaged by Roland Barthes.
