No Time Like The Present

Nadine gordimer is one of our most adventurous contemporary writers. With each new work, she attacks with a clear eyed lack of sentimentality, and an understanding of the darkest depths of the human soul the inextricable link between personal life and political, communal history. the exploration of this theme in each new work, not only in her homeland south africa, but the twenty first century world, is evidence of her literary genius: in the sharpness of her psychological insights, the stark beauty of her language, the complexity of her characters and the difficult choices with which they are faced.
