Jump and Other Stories | Nadine Gordimer
1 post | 3 read
In this collection of sixteen stories, Gordimer brings unforgettable characters from every corner of society to life: a child refugee fleeing civil war in Mozambique; a black activist's deserted wife longing for better times; a rich safari party indulging themselves while lionesses circle their lodge. Jump is a vivid, disturbing and rewarding portrait of life in South Africa under apartheid.

In this collection of short stories Gordimer draws an insightful image of South Africa and human nature in general. This kind of writing is the reason she truly deserved the Nobel Prize in literature. (The other books in the photo have nothing to do with Gordimer)
