Abstract
:
Nadine Gordimer, winner of the 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature, is one of Africa's most distinguished writers of novels, short stories, essays, and book reviews. A South African citizen who remained in that country through the bitterly racist years of apartheid, she gained a reputation for her political activism, particularly her championing of human rights. In this appraisal of Gordimer's twelve novels, Barbara Temple-Thurston stresses the writer's enduring quality as an artist beyond the confines of the politics of apartheid.
