Disgrace was the novel that earned South African born author John Maxwell Coetzee [b. February 9, 1940] his second Man Booker Prize, in 1999. The prize previously was awarded to him in 1983, for 'Life & Times of Michael K'.

Cortzee is one of only two authors who thus far have won the coveted award. The other two time recipient is fellow Australian author Peter Philip Carey [b. May 7, 1943]. Carey was the award's winner in 1988 for 'Oscar and Lucinda', and in 2001 for 'True History of the Kelly Gang'.
