Extractions: Nadine Gordimer, 1991 (b. Nov. 20, 1923, Springs, Transvaal, S.Af.), South African novelist and short-story writer whose major theme was exile and alienation. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. Gordimer was born into a privileged white middle-class family and began reading at an early age. By the age of 9 she was writing, and she published her first story in a magazine when she was 15. Her wide reading informed her about the world on the other side of apartheidthe official South African policy of racial segregationand that discovery in time developed into strong political opposition to apartheid. Never an outstanding scholar, she attended the University of Witwatersrand for one year. In addition to writing, she lectured and taught at various schools in the United States during the 1960s and '70s. Gordimer's first book was The Soft Voice of the Serpent (1952), a collection of short stories. In 1953 a novel, The Lying Days, was published. Both exhibit the clear, controlled, and unsentimental technique that became her hallmark. Her stories concern the devastating effects of apartheid on the lives of South Africansthe constant tension between personal isolation and the commitment to social justice, the numbness caused by the unwillingness to accept apartheid, the inability to change it, and the refusal of exile. Her novel The Conservationist (1974) won the Booker McConnell Prize in 1974. Later works include

Extractions: PhD research student The South African author and political activist finds that her extensive career as a novelist has long-been surrounded by controversy particularly among literary and political circles within her country. Although she is looked upon as a pre-eminent voice among South Africas public figures, her writing often centres on private themes. Rather than direct attacks on the apartheid regime, Gordimer prefers to sketch its implications for white identity. In earlier fiction such as The Lying Days, she dares to personalise the political by looking at how public realities have impinged upon desire, self-determination, and for white South Africans. Within South Africa her critical reception has been cooled by claims that her writing is little more than suburban kitsch. Ironically, it is black South Africans whose spirit of resistance Gordimer praises above all that voice the loudest critiques about her works. They concede that the extreme situations of South Africa have created a unique literary category, and that Gordimer lies within and not outside of that category. Stating that her novels are trapped by the limitations of Gordimers privileged background, they argue that her descriptions of the black world are caricatured, colonialist and hollow. However, with over 24 novels and short-story collections, the 1991 Nobel Prize-winning writers work cannot simply be dismissed, but begs further explorations of the strengths and weaknesses of her very unique rendering of South African life.

Extractions: The Word was with God, signified God's Word, the word that was Creation. But over the centuries of human culture the word has taken on other meanings, secular as well as religious. To have the word has come to be synonymous with ultimate authority, with prestige, with awesome, sometimes dangerous persuation, to have Prime Time, a TV talk show, to have the gift of the gab as well as that of speaking in tongues. The word flies through space, it is bounced from satellites, now nearer than it has ever been to the heaven from which it was believed to have come. But its most significant transformation occured for me and my kind long ago, when it was first scratched on a stone tablet or traced on papyrus, when it materialized from sound to spectacle, from being heard to being read as a series of signs, and then a script; and travelled through time from parchment to Gutenberg. For this is the genesis story of the writer. It is the story that wrote her or him into being. It was, strangely, a double process, creating at the same time both the writer and the very purpose of the writer as a mutation in the agency of human culture. It was both ontogenesis as the origin and development of an individual being, and the adaptation, in the nature of that individual, specifically to the exploration of ontogenesis, the origin and development of the individual being. For we writers are evolved for that task. Like the prisoners incarcerated with the jaguar in Borges' story

Extractions: It tipped a continental shelf. These tremblings often cause floods; this colossus did the reverse, drew back the ocean as a vast breath taken. The most secret level of our world lay revealed: the sea-bedded - wrecked ships, facades of houses, ballroom candelabra, toilet bowl, pirate chest, TV screen, mail-coach, aircraft fuselage, canon, marble torso, Kalashnikov, metal carapace of a tourist bus-load, baptismal font, automatic dishwasher, computer, swords sheathed in barnacles, coins turned to stone. The astounded gaze raced among these things; the population who had fled from their toppling houses to the martime hills, ran down. Where terrestrial crash and bellow had terrified them, there was naked silence. The saliva of the sea glistened upon these objects; it is given that time does not, never did, exist down there where the materiality of the past and the present as they lie has no chronological order, all is one, all is nothing - or all is possessible at once. That is what is known; in television coverage that really had nothing to show but the pewter skin of the depths, in radio interviews with those few infirm, timid or prudent who had not come down from the hills, and in newspaper accounts of bodies that for some reason the sea rejected, washed up down the coast somewhere.

Extractions: writing in English Nadine GORDIMER was born in 1923 in the small town of Springs in the Transvaal, South Africa. The daughter of Jewish immigrants, Gordimer spent a year at Witwaterstrand University, Johannesburg (1945). She began writing as a young girl, and some of her published works date from when Gordimer was thirteen. After the publication of The Lying Days (1953), Gordimer's work began to attract critical attention. As a novelist, short-story writer and essayist, her output has been astonishing and she has been awarded a number of prizes, including the 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature. A tireless campaigner for human rights, Gordimer became one of the most outspoken critics of apartheid, both at home in South Africa and abroad. Her work reflects a strong humanist perspective and like so many of the earlier post-colonial writers, her politics became central to the thematic concerns of her novels and short-stories. She continues to live in Johannesburg. Some of her most important works are : Guest of Honour The Conservationist Burger's Daughter July's People The essential Gesture: Writing, Politics and Places
