Her works are noted for their lyricism, passion and realistic dialogue as well as their dedication to exploring the themes of alienation and exile in the human condition. Gordimer's fierce commitment to delineating the emotional, moral and imaginative structure of life under apartheid has led to controversy. Some of her books, including The Conservationist (1974) and A Sport of Nature (1987), were banned in her home country during the previous regime. Gordimer lives in Johannesburg, where she published her most recent work, The Pickup , in 2001.

Profile 1 (commissioned)
Niambi Walker, 01/01/2002
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 Africa’s 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 Gordimer’s 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 writer’s work cannot simply be dismissed, but begs further explorations of the strengths and weaknesses of her very unique rendering of South African life.

B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Nadine Gordimer (1923-) South African novelist and short-story writer, who received Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. Gordimer's works deal with the moral and psychological tensions of her racially divided home country. She was a founding member of Congress of South African Writers, and even at the height of the apartheid regime, she never considered going into exile. "A line in a statute book has more authority than the claims of one man's love or another's. All claims of natural feeling are over-ridden alike by a line in a statute book that takes no account of humanness, that recognizes neither love nor respect nor jealousy nor rivalry nor compassion nor hate - nor any human attitude where there are black and white together. What Boaz felt towards Ann; what Gideon felt towards Ann, what Ann felt about Boaz, what she felt for Gideon - all this that was real and rooted in life was void before the clumsy words that reduced the delicacy and towering complexity of living to a race theory..." (from Occasion for Loving Nadine Gordimer was born into a well-off family in Springs, Transvaal, an East Rand mining town outside Johannesburg. It was the setting for Gordimer's first novel, THE LYING DAYS (1953). Her father was a Jewish jeweler originally from Latvia and her mother of British descent. From her early childhood Gordimer witnessed how the white minority increasingly weakened the rights of the black majority. Gordimer was educated in a convent school and she spent a year at Witwaterstrand University, Johannesburg without taking a degree.

Home For Writers Authors Letters ... Archives SikhSpectrum.com Monthly Issue No.6, November 2002 Loot by Nadine Gordimer Excerpts from the Presentation Speech before the award. Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen, Art is on the side of the oppressed, Nadine Gordimer says in one of her essays, urging us to think before we dismiss this heretical idea about the freedom of art. If art is freedom, she asks, how could it exist within the oppressors? Nadine Gordimer agrees with last year's Laureate, Octavio Paz, in asserting the importance of regaining the meanings of words, as a first step in the critical process. She has had the courage to write as if censorship did not exist, and so has seen her books banned, time after time. Above all, it is people, individual men and women, that have captured her and been captured by her. It is their lives, their heaven and hell, that absorb her. The outer reality is ever present, but it is through her characters that the whole historical process is crystallized. Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is remarkable how often Nadine Gordimer succeeds in her artistic intent - to burn a hole through the page.

THE NOBEL FOUNDATION
Nobel Lecture
Writing And Being

by Nadine Gordimer
South African Writer/Nobel Laureate December 7, 1991 at at Stockholm Concert Hall, Stockholm, Sweden In the beginning was the Word.
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

Nadine Gordimer
N ovelista y escritora de cuentos surafricana, premio Nobel, valorada por su estilo apasionado y ameno. Su obra se nutre de los sentimientos de frustración social y política en una Suráfrica dividida racialmente, y refleja su postura crítica a la censura política y al racismo. Gordimer nació en Springs (Suráfrica), en una familia judía de clase media y estudió en la Universidad de Witwatersrand. Publicó su primer cuento a los 15 años. Después de La suave voz de la serpiente (1956), su primer libro importante de cuentos, publicó Seis pies de tierra La huella del viernes (1960, ganadora del premio literario W.H. Smith and Son de 1961) y No para publicarlo (1960). Estos libros narran incidencias de la vida cotidiana en Suráfrica, a menudo desde el punto de vista de una persona de clase media, analizando las tensiones entre los distintos grupos raciales bajo la rígida segregación del apartheid. Sus novelas Mundo de extraños Ocasión para amar (1963) y El desaparecido mundo burgués (1966) también abordan estos temas. Gordimer presenta la situación de la gente de color con gran sensibilidad para expresar los sentimientos encontrados de la gente blanca liberal, forzada a vivir en un sistema que creen equivocado. Su novela El conservador (1974), que describe cómo un hombre blanco explota a sus empleados negros para su lucro personal, compartió en 1974 el premio Booker.

Nadine Gordimer South Africa Literary Reputation Gordimer began writing at the age of 9; her first short story was published at 14. During her 20’s, many of her works appeared in local magazines, and in 1951 the highly esteemed New Yorker published the first of many of her stories which have appeared in that well known literary magazine. Although some of her works are non-fiction, she is best known today for her twelve novels and is also widely recognized as one of the greatest short story writers of the century. She has published fifteen collections of short stories. Few South African writers hold the international reputation that does Nadine Gordimer. In 1991, she won the Nobel Prize for Literature. (Between 1901 and 1997, only nine women have received this prestigious international award.)

Nobel Prize-winning author Nadine Gordimer talks about integrity, illumination, illiteracy, and the dubious relationship between art and social conflict February 9, 2000 S eventy-six years old, Nadine Gordimer has written about her native South Africa for more than fifty years. She has almost thirty books to her name; she has won the Booker Prize and the Nobel Prize for Literature. Yet despite her creative achievements Gordimer is just as often recognized for her other lifelong commitment her role as an anti-apartheid activist. Often in the public's mind the two roles bleed together. In fact, some readers and critics of Gordimer have wondered what she'll find to write about now that apartheid is over. It's a futile question Gordimer's writing was never limited to apartheid in the first place. Nuanced and unflinchingly honest, her novels and stories expose the stew of contradictions that make up any life, not just a life shaped by racial discrimination.
