About This Item
(Cape Town: David Philip, 2000) 0864864558. 8vo; original blue boards, lettered in white on spine; dustwrapper; pp. 244. Dustwrapper partially sunned; earlier owner's name to first page; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "Internationally celebrated for her novels, Nadine Gordimer has devoted much of her life and fiction to the political struggles of the Third World, the New World, and her native South Africa. Living in Hope and History is an on-the-spot record of her years as a public figure - an observer of apartheid and its aftermath, a member of the ANC, and the champion of dissident writers everywhere. Including her reminiscences of Nelson Mandela and Günter Grass, her correspondence with Japanese novelist Kenzaburo Oe, and her reflections on race in Africa and America, these passionate writings lay bare the preoccupations of a lifetime." .
