Product Description
Nadine Gordimer began her writing life at a relatively young age. In 1991, that life received the ultimate recognition when she was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. In this volume, Gordimer, who has been described by her peers as a "formidable visitor from the future", "the leviathan of South African letters" and almost always as "a gifted writer with extraordinary powers of observation, is paid homage by fellow writers from South Africa and other parts of the world. The book comprises readings, tributes, fiction, poetry, interviews and photographs which engage directly and indirectly with Gordimer's work and her still unfolding legacy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This book focuses on Nadine Gordimer’s fictional depiction of South African society under the apartheid system. Through a chronological study of the pre-1994 novels and short stories, the book shows how Gordimer scrutinizes the various stages of the society from the introduction of the apartheid system in the late forties to its abolition in the early nineties.

The first chapter outlines the introduction of the apartheid system in South Africa in 1948 and relates its contradictions to those depicted in some of Gordimer’s early fiction. Chapter two focuses on the author’s portrayal of the failure of liberal South Africans to change the system in the first two decades of its existence. This discussion is also based on Gordimer’s early works. In Chapter three, the author examines the themes of futility and despair as presented in Burger’s Daughter (1979). These themes are shown to reflect the political mood in South Africa during the sixties and seventies when apartheid appeared invincible after all forms of internal opposition had been silenced following the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960. The option of armed struggle forced upon anti-apartheid groups from 1960 onwards is the subject of chapter four, and in chapter five, the resurgence of internal resistance to apartheid and the gradual decline of the system in the 1980s are discussed. Finally, chapter six focuses on "A Sport of Nature" (1987) and analyzes Gordimer’s comprehensive and unified depiction of the anti-apartheid struggle led by the ANC between the fifties and nineties.

In this book, Uledi-Kamanga engages in close textual analysis of Gordimer’s novels and short stories with specific focus on her use of irony as a central mode of literary exposition. He argues that through the use of this mode Gordimer was able to expose the various contradictions created by the apartheid system in South Africa and to predict its eventual collapse. By combining literary criticism with social history, Uledi-Kamanga has written a book that is relevant to both historians and literary scholars. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

In 1991, Nadine Gordimer was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Infused with the intensity of political conscience and commitment, her writings are invaluable illuminations of life in South Africa during the latter half of the twentieth century.

This is the first study to approach Gordimer from an analysis of the major thematic motifs and concers that have characterized her writing throughout her career. Andrew Vogel Ettin sees Gordimer's work as a tool not of propaganda but of understanding, a means of sharpening our perceptions of one another's lives. The thoughtful and sympathetic readings offered here, as well as the clarity and accessibility of Ettin's style, make this book an indispensable addition to the relatively small body of criticism devoted to Gordimer.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Bien avant qu'elle n'obtienne le Prix Nobel de littérature en 1991, Nadine Gordimer était connue comme militante blanche d'Afrique du Sud contre l'apartheid. Ce combat n'a jamais cessé d'être pour elle une priorité absolue. Mais elle est consciente du paradoxe qui consiste, pour une Blanche, à se battre aux côtés des Noirs. D'où l'autodérision qui donne à ses romans un ton inattendu, exempt de tout pathos et de toute emphase. Elle croit en la littérature, pour sa cause et même au-delà de toute cause et de tout engagement. Dans son univers romanesque le tragique et l'ironie coexistent, comme coexistent les hommes et les femmes, les Noirs et les Blancs. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
A startling new work from a Nobel prize-winning author: ten short stories, each a revelation of our interior lives, each entering unforeseen contexts of our contemporary world. In the title story an earthquake exposes both an ocean bed strewn with treasure among the dead, and the avarice of the town's survivors. In 'The Diamond Mine' a woman remembers her first, passionately erotic experience, hidden, in the company of her parents, with a soldier who may not be alive to remember her. The anopheles mosquito brings death to the saunas and other playgrounds of the developed with in 'The Emissary'. In 'Karma', Gordimer's inventiveness knows no bounds: in five returns to the earthly life, taking on different ages and genders, a disembodied narrator testifies to unfinished business-critically, wittily-and questions the nature of existence. ...

Product Description
South African writer Nadine Gordimer won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991. Her seventh novel, Burger's Daughter, focuses upon the daughter of a white, communist Afrikaner hero. Based partly on fact, successively banned and unbanned by the South African authorities, the novel has also become something of a test case for feminist critics of Gordimer's writing. This casebook includes an interview with and an essay by Nadine Gordimer on the novel, classic and recent critical essays, an introduction discussing biographical and historical contexts and the literary reception, and a bibliography. ...
