There is good #literaturethen you have excellent literature and then you have #fuckingamazing literature. And that’s what #gordimer gives us every time: just fucking amazing literature #julyspeopleis simply a #masterpiece People usually come to this book for a lot of different reasons. Maybe because you’re interested in learning about #apartheid #racerelationsor to read a #dystopia This book has this and more. I personally believe that that “more” is actually the key here. There are some many layers going on and at the same time it’s also very simple. We all pretend to be so progressive and tolerant. But when it comes to the real conflict which side are we really in? Gordimer skillfully depicts a side that speaks to all of us even today. #nadinegordimer #southafrica#pretoria #soweto #joburg#nobelprizeinliterature#southafricanliterature #civilwar#johannesburg #vikingpress #running#highlyrecommended
