The novel was first published in a Spanish translation by Mariana Dimópoulos under the title El Polaco by the Argentinian publisher El Hilo de Ariadna.[3][1] This was Coetzee's third book that was first published in the Southern Hemisphere of which he said, "the symbolism of publishing in the South before the North is important to me".[3] It was also his second book to be first published in Spanish translation.
