"Nadine Gordimer began her writing life at a relatively young age. In 1991 that life received the ultimate recognition when she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Now, in 1998, as she turns 75, this remarkable writer is being paid homage by fellow writers from South Africa and other parts of the world." "The result is this volume of readings, tributes, fiction, poetry, interviews and photographs which engage directly and indirectly with Gordimer's work and her still unfolding legacy."--Jacket.
