Editorial reviews

In this 1961 appearance at the 92nd Street Y, South African writer Nadine Gordimer reads two short stories, "A Style of Her Own" and "The Bridegroom". Though the Y is a Jewish cultural center, it embraces people of all faiths and backgrounds in a spirit of inclusion. Gordimer fits remarkably into this ecumenical spirit, for was an outspoken critic of South Africa's divisive apartheid regime, both through her art and through political activism. Her work is morally charged, often dealing with race and injustice. In this reading, the Nobel Prize-winner's voice is powerful, eloquent, and inflected with a taut and gorgeous Johannesburg accent.

Okay interview, but a bit of a snooze fest. Wanted it to be more exciting.

Not that great
