Home Your account Current issue Archives ... October 23, 2003 Awakening By J.M. Coetzee Nadine Gordimer The Pickup by Nadine Gordimer Penguin, 270 pp., $14.00 (paper) Loot and Other Stories by Nadine Gordimer Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 240 pp., $23.00 In one of the stories in Nadine Gordimer's collection Jump (1991), a working-class family in England takes in a lodger, a quiet, studious young man from the Middle East. The daughter of the family becomes intimate with him and falls pregnant. He proposes marriage; dubiously the parents consent. But first, says the lodger, the girl must travel, alone, to his home country to introduce herself to his family. At the airport he secretes a bomb in her suitcase. The plane is blown up; all the passengers die, including his unborn child. From her reliance on the stereotype of the diabolical Islamic terrorist, one would guess that, at the time she wrote the story in the 1980s, Gordimer had not thought deeply about the question of why, in the human family, young Muslim men have assumed the role of the bad boy, the delinquent. A decade later, as if to make amends, she revisited the kernel situation of the story: the Arab who for ulterior motives woos and marries a Western woman. In it she found the potential for a far more original and interesting development; The Pickup (2001) is the fruit of that development.

Nadine Gordimer Get a Life A novel by Nadine Gordimer Awards The Booker Prize (nominee) by Nadine Gordimer Paul Bannerman, an ecologist in South Africa, believes he understands the trajectory of his life, with the usual markers of vocation and marriage. But when he's diagnosed with thyroid cancer and, after surgery, prescribed treatment that will leave him radioactive, for a period a danger to others, he begins to question, as Auden wrote, "what Authority gives / existence its surprise." In the garden of his childhood home, where his businessman father, Adrian, and prominent civil rights lawyer mother, Lyndsay, take him in to protect his wife and child from radiation, he enters an unthinkable existence and another kind of illumination: the contradiction between the values of his work and those of his wife, Benni, an ad agency executive. His mother is transformed by the strange state of her son's existence to face her own past. Meanwhile, projects to build a nuclear reactor and drain vital wetlands preoccupy Paul as if he were at work. By the time he is cured, both families have been changed. On his return to his home and career, his parents go to Mexico to fulfill the archaeological vocation Adrian sacrificed to support his family. The consequence of this trip is the final surprise in this extraordinary exploration of passionate individual existences.

This post is part of the campaign’s blog series , which features posts by concerned writers, discussion of book culture, op-eds, Q and As, and tips about how you can get involved to make sure those same owners and editors know that book sections matter. Q : In America, readership levels are going down both of books and newspapers. Are you having similar problems in South Africa? A : I'm very troubled by what's happening to the book, that's why this event here, the PEN festival – seeing large audiences turning up to hear writers – is very heartening and encouraging. Because the image is gravely threatening the word. And the most obvious example and really important one is this: when you were a child, I'm sure somebody read to you a bedtime story. And from that comes your interest in words and wanting to read. You begin to associate the word that is read to you with what is there on the page. In other words, you are beginning to read before you can read

53. Nadine Gordimer - The Pickup For nadine gordimer, the Nobel Prize winning South African author, the complexities of the Other have always been at the centre of her interest. http://webdoc.gwdg.de/edoc/ia/eese/artic23/franz/2_2003.html

EESE 2/2003 Picking up the Other: Nadine Gordimer's The Pickup Franz Meier (Regensburg/Frankfurt am Main) The study of world literature might be the study of the way in which cultures recognize themselves through their projections of 'otherness'. Where, once, the transmission of national traditions was the major theme of a world literature, perhaps we can now suggest that transnational histories of migrants, the colonized, or political refugees - these border and frontier conditions - may be the terrains of world literature. The Pickup in Context: Gordimer and the 'New South Africa' For Nadine Gordimer, the Nobel Prize winning South African author, the complexities of 'the Other' have always been at the centre of her interest. Having grown up in a post-colonial South Africa and lived through the various stages of its apartheit regime, she always made it one of her tasks to analyse what this radical form of institutionalised 'othering' did to people and their cultures. Nearly all of her 13 published novels and most of her short stories deal with that topic; and although she distances herself from any sort of propaganda in her literature she has nevertheless become something like a moral institution in South Africa.

Home Books Reviews Tutorials ... Subscribe here for our free email newsletter Nadine Gordimer a guide to her writing The Soft Voice of the Serpent (1952). In addition to writing, she lectured and taught at various schools in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. She was awarded the Nobel prize for Literature in 1991. Nadine Gordimer is a writer who started by picking up the modernist baton from authors such as Virginia Woolf, and she has taken the techniques of modernism a few steps further. She does this particularly in her short stories, where like Woolf she uses the genre as an experimental kitchen for her longer prose works such as her novellas and full length novels. In fact some of her shorter fiction is more interesting in terms of formal experimentation than her novels, some of which are often rather long and formless - although this is a purely personal opinion. She is always interesting politically - and never has shirked the difficult issues raised by the legacy of white European domination in South Africa. She's also an excellent observer of what might be called the politics of gender or sexuality. She writes about the physical relationships between women and men in a way which is honest, frank, revealing, and unsparingly unsentimental. Some passages in her work render the sexual tensions between men and women more accurately than any writer since D.H.Lawrence - and they have the novelty of often being presented from a woman's point of view, though she is perfectly capable of writing from a male perspective too. She's also very good at dealing with issues of sex at the level of furtive assignations and sweaty armpits - something often ignored by serious writers.
