GORDIMER, Nadine

White S African novelist and non-fiction writer, read even more widely outside her country than within. Her recurrent theme is the struggle for racial equality during and after the Apartheid era, and for African self-rule. She was a forthright moral crusader, a social realist at once critically aware and vividly imaginative.
