Not crazy about this story!
intimate relationships
South Africa Book Club
One of Gordimer's best works The complexity of the writing is necessary for conveying the emotional weight of the story. The chapters alternate (roughly) between the first person narration of Will and a third person account of the unfolding situation. This allows the reader to experience the pain and ambivalence Will feels, while also making the reader aware of the secrets that the family members keep from each other. I disagree with the other reviewers that Gordimer's work is overly cerebral (if you want to see pretentious, dry, and overintellectualized, check out fellow African author J. M. Coetzee... yawn). My Son's Story is brilliantly realized in terms of both form and content. Without its complexity, the book would not be as believable, heartfelt, or utterly tragic... although I probably wouldn't have appreciated it in the ninth grade either.
Struggling With Apartheid And Adultery Unfortunately, Ms. Gordimer's overly convoluted and intellectualized style of writing caused me to often feel distanced from her characters.The result is a novel that frequently falls dead in its tracks.Fortunately, Ms. Gordimer does occasionally write forcefully.It is in these places that her message is communicated clearly and effectively. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Nadine Gordimer is one of the most important writers to emerge in the twentieth century. Her anti-Apartheid novel July's People (1981) is a powerful example of resistance writing and continues even now to unsettle easy assumptions about issues of power, race, gender and identity. This guide to Gordimer's compelling novel offers: Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of July's People and seeking not only a guide to the novel, but a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds Gordimer's text. |

list price: US$20.99 Asin: B003GFIVMA Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description What this collection offers, then, is not art itself but the record of onewoman's fierce dedication to both her art and her politics--and herattempts to negotiate the relationship between them. Living in Hope andHistory includes graduation addresses, lectures, the author's Nobelacceptance speech, impressively learned essays on Joseph Roth and GünterGrass, and even her correspondence with Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oe.Dating from the dark old days of apartheid through the present, theassemblage also offers a moving document of the South African struggle andits eventual fruits. Some of the most exhilarating pieces chronicle thenew, postapartheid nation--"The First Time" finds Gordimer standing invoting queues for her country's first democratic elections, and "Act Two:One Year Later" is a celebration of Johannesburg's newfound vibrancy.Living in Hope and History is first and foremost a record ofGordimer's life as a public figure. In these essays, however, the politicaland the imaginative seem to sound a common, joyful note: this is the waythings are, this is the way things should be. --Mary Park Customer Reviews (1)
