Nadine

Nadine Gordimer (1923–2014) was a South African novelist and public intellectual who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991. A lifelong opponent of apartheid and a member of the ANC, she documented the moral and political landscape of South Africa across more than a dozen novels and several collections of essays and stories. Living in Hope and History gathers non-fiction pieces — essays, addresses, and appreciations of fellow writers — that she produced over four decades, including her Nobel lecture, offering an on-the-record account of her engagement with inequality, censorship, and South Africa's democratic emergence.
