    Extractions: Nadine Gordimer - Die Hauswaffe "Die Hauswaffe" heißt der neue Roman von Nadine Gordimer und gemeint ist damit die Waffe, die in den meisten Wohnungen und Häusern in Johannesburg vorhanden ist, um bei möglichen Überfällen wirksamen Schutz zu bieten. Nadine Gordimer, die 1990 den Literaturnobelpreis erhalten hat, zeigt in ihrem neuen Buch überzeugend: "Eine private Katastrophe bedeutet, daß man aus dem Alltag der übrigen Welt aussteigt. - Es gibt allerdings keinen wirksamen "Schutz vor den Bomben der Existenz."

    Extractions: Library Catalog A novelist, short story writer, critic, essayist, and editor, Nadine Gordimer is one of South Africa's preeminent authors, winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991. Born in South Africa in 1923 she was raisedin a segregated town outside Johannesburg and has remained in South Africa throughout her career. Drawing on South African political conditions for her works' essential themes, Gordimer focuses principally on the complex human tensions that result from apartheid. Praised for her authentic portrayalsof black African culture, she is also recognized for using precise details to "evoke both the physical landscape of South Africa and the human predicaments of a racially polarized society." One of her most compelling achievements has been to give the world an understanding of the terrible cost and effect of racism in her country, going beyond what journalism and the media can relate. Her political activism grew over a span of years from secret meetings with ANC members, to becoming a member, and subsequently to her steadfast and courageous support of the group, which now heads the government. In1987 she helped found the Congress of South African Writers, ninety percent of whose members are black. Three of her books were banned in South Africa, including The Late Bourgeois World (1966) and Burger's Daughter A Guest of Honour (1970), perhaps her finest work, received the James Toit Black Memorial Prize, while

    Extractions: "I shall never write an autobiography," South African novelist Nadine Gordimer has said. "I'm much too jealous of my privacy for that." Yet it is impossible to read Gordimer's 12 novels and 15 short story collections without feeling that, to some degree, her autobiography has already been composed. In all of the 75-year-old novelist's work, her strong political and moral views she was an ardent opponent of apartheid for nearly half a century are interwoven with a keen sense of how South Africans, both black and white, move through their daily lives. Her eye for small, personal, telling detail is unerring. One of the main characters in "The House Gun" is a talented black lawyer, to whom a wealthy white couple turns for help when their son is accused of murder. You are clearly writing about the new South Africa.

If you would like to write a profile for this page, please fill in the Nadine Gordimer profile form / formulaire de profil 01 Jan 2002, by Niambi Walker - PhD research student The South African author and political activist finds that her extensive career as a novelist has long-been surrounded by controversy - particularly among literary and political circles within her country. Although she is looked upon as a pre-eminent voice among South Africa's public figures, her writing often centres on private themes. Rather than direct attacks on the apartheid regime, Gordimer prefers to sketch its implications for white identity. In earlier fiction such as The Lying Days, she dares to personalise the political by looking at how public realities' have impinged upon desire, self-determination, and for white South Africans. Within South Africa her critical reception has been cooled by claims that her writing is little more than 'suburban kitsch'. Ironically, it is black South Africans - whose spirit of resistance Gordimer praises above all - that voice the loudest critiques about her works. They concede that the extreme situations of South Africa have created a unique literary category, and that Gordimer lies within - and not outside of - that category. Stating that her novels are trapped by the limitations of Gordimer's privileged background, they argue that her descriptions of the black world are caricatured, colonialist and hollow. However, with over 24 novels and short-story collections, the 1991 Nobel Prize-winning writer's work cannot simply be dismissed, but begs further explorations of the strengths and weaknesses of her very unique rendering of South African life.

A political novelist celebrated for her grasp of history and delicate sensitivity to the human tensions of apartheid, three of her 22 books have been banned in her native South Africa. Having moved from a position of individual humanism, she now defines as African an author "of whatever skin colour who shares with Africans the experience of having been shaped, mentally and spiritually, by Africa rather than anywhere else in the world." Critics found a lack of warmth in her detached, analytical earlier work, ascribed by some to the dehumanising influence of apartheid. She won the Booker Prize in 1974 (The Conservationist), in 1988 refused to be shortlisted for the women-only Orange Prize, and received the Nobel Prize in 1991, the first woman in 25 years to do so. "Through her magnificent epic writing she has - in the words of Alfred Nobel - been of very great benefit to humanity," the judges declared.

KW, So, 12.07.1998 in „Treff nach Neun" 10.00 bis 11.00 Uhr RADIO BERG BUCHTIP Eine prominente Autorin hat den Roman „Die Hauswaffe" geschrieben: Literaturnobelpreisträgerin Nadine Gordimer. Sie hat sich diesmal im Krimigenre versucht. "Die Hauswaffe" spielt in Südafrika und das Thema hat mit einem alten Konflikt zu tun: dem Zusammenleben von Schwarz und Weiß. Duncan, ein junger weißer Mann aus der Oberschicht ist der ganze Stolz seiner vornehmen Familie: gutaussehend , hochbegabt und mit genialen Berufschancen. Bis, ja bis, er vor Gericht steht. Denn: Duncan hat seinen Mitbewohner Carl erschossen, weil der ein Verhältnis mit Duncans Freundin Natalie hatte. Die ganze Hoffnung auf ein mildes Urteil liegt nun auf Duncans Verteidiger. Der heißt Hamilton Motsami, ist ein excellenter Jurist - und schwarz. Knackpunkt ist natürlich die Beziehung zwischen Schwarz und Weiß. Mit ein wenig Schadenfreude liest man, wie Duncans Eltern nun auf einen Mann angewiesen sind, den sie ein paar Jahre vorher nur als Dienstboten in ihr Haus gelassen hätten. Amüsant zu lesen: das wilde Leben in Duncans WG.

The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable. The gap between the committed and the indifferent is a Sahara whose faint trails, followed by the mind's eye only, fade out in sand. Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.

    Extractions: Nadine Gordimer, 1991 (b. Nov. 20, 1923, Springs, Transvaal, S.Af.), South African novelist and short-story writer whose major theme was exile and alienation. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. Gordimer was born into a privileged white middle-class family and began reading at an early age. By the age of 9 she was writing, and she published her first story in a magazine when she was 15. Her wide reading informed her about the world on the other side of apartheidthe official South African policy of racial segregationand that discovery in time developed into strong political opposition to apartheid. Never an outstanding scholar, she attended the University of Witwatersrand for one year. In addition to writing, she lectured and taught at various schools in the United States during the 1960s and '70s. Gordimer's first book was The Soft Voice of the Serpent (1952), a collection of short stories. In 1953 a novel, The Lying Days, was published. Both exhibit the clear, controlled, and unsentimental technique that became her hallmark. Her stories concern the devastating effects of apartheid on the lives of South Africansthe constant tension between personal isolation and the commitment to social justice, the numbness caused by the unwillingness to accept apartheid, the inability to change it, and the refusal of exile. Her novel The Conservationist (1974) won the Booker McConnell Prize in 1974. Later works include
