5. Nadine Gordimer - Nobel Lecture nadine gordimer's nobel lecture (1991). http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1991/gordimer-lecture.html

Nobel Lecture, December 7, 1991 Writing and Being In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, signified God's Word, the word that was Creation. But over the centuries of human culture the word has taken on other meanings, secular as well as religious. To have the word has come to be synonymous with ultimate authority, with prestige, with awesome, sometimes dangerous persuation, to have Prime Time, a TV talk show, to have the gift of the gab as well as that of speaking in tongues. The word flies through space, it is bounced from satellites, now nearer than it has ever been to the heaven from which it was believed to have come. But its most significant transformation occured for me and my kind long ago, when it was first scratched on a stone tablet or traced on papyrus, when it materialized from sound to spectacle, from being heard to being read as a series of signs, and then a script; and travelled through time from parchment to Gutenberg. For this is the genesis story of the writer. It is the story that wrote her or him into being. It was, strangely, a double process, creating at the same time both the writer and the very purpose of the writer as a mutation in the agency of human culture. It was both ontogenesis as the origin and development of an individual being, and the adaptation, in the nature of that individual, specifically to the exploration of ontogenesis, the origin and development of the individual being. For we writers are evolved for that task. Like the prisoners incarcerated with the jaguar in Borges' story

7. Nadine Gordimer - Short Story Short story by nadine gordimer. http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1991/gordimer-shortstory.html

Loot by Nadine Gordimer O nce upon our time, there was an earthquake: but this one is the most powerful ever recorded since the invention of the Richter scale made possible for us to measure apocalyptic warnings. It tipped a continental shelf. These tremblings often cause floods; this colossus did the reverse, drew back the ocean as a vast breath taken. The most secret level of our world lay revealed: the sea-bedded - wrecked ships, facades of houses, ballroom candelabra, toilet bowl, pirate chest, TV screen, mail-coach, aircraft fuselage, canon, marble torso, Kalashnikov, metal carapace of a tourist bus-load, baptismal font, automatic dishwasher, computer, swords sheathed in barnacles, coins turned to stone. The astounded gaze raced among these things; the population who had fled from their toppling houses to the martime hills, ran down. Where terrestrial crash and bellow had terrified them, there was naked silence. The saliva of the sea glistened upon these objects; it is given that time does not, never did, exist down there where the materiality of the past and the present as they lie has no chronological order, all is one, all is nothing - or all is possessible at once. That is what is known; in television coverage that really had nothing to show but the pewter skin of the depths, in radio interviews with those few infirm, timid or prudent who had not come down from the hills, and in newspaper accounts of bodies that for some reason the sea rejected, washed up down the coast somewhere.

Nadine Gordimer, Author Nobel Prize in Literature 1991 South Africa 1923 - "who through her magnificent epic writing has - in the words of Alfred Nobel - been of very great benefit to humanity" The Works of Gordimer Nadine Gordimer was born on 20 November 1923 in Springs, a small mining town near Johannesburg in South Africa, of immigrant Jewish parents. Her father, a jeweler, came from Lithuania (then in Russia), her mother, from England. After being educated at a convent school, Nadine Gordimer studied at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. She has traveled extensively in Africa, Europe, and North America, where she has often undertaken lecture tours, but has continued to live in Johannesburg; married since 1954 to a businessman, Reinhold Cassirer. The couple have a son and each has a daughter from a previous marriage. Nadine Gordimer began to write at the age of nine and her first short story was published in a South African magazine when she was only fifteen. Her first collection of short stories, Face to Face , was published ten years later in 1949. Her first novel

Nadine Gordimer Nobel Lecture 'WRITING AND BEING' December 7, 1991 Biography Novels In the beginning was the Word. It was, strangely, a double process, creating at the same time both the writer and the very purpose of the writer as a mutation in the agency of human culture. It was both ontogenesis as the origin and development of an individual being, and the adaptation, in the nature of that individual, specifically to the exploration of ontogenesis, the origin and development of the individual being. For we writers are evolved for that task. Like the prisoners incarcerated with the jaguar in Borges' story , 'The God's Script', who was trying to read, in a ray of light which fell only once a day, the meaning of being from the marking on the creature's pelt, we spend our lives attempting to interpret through the word the readings we take in the societies, the world of which we are part. It is in this sense, this inextricable, ineffable participation, that writing is always and at once an exploration of self and of the world; of individual and collective being. Being here.

back home Nadine GORDIMER from SOUTH AFRICA writing in English Nadine GORDIMER was born in 1923 in the small town of Springs in the Transvaal, South Africa. The daughter of Jewish immigrants, Gordimer spent a year at Witwaterstrand University, Johannesburg (1945). She began writing as a young girl, and some of her published works date from when Gordimer was thirteen. After the publication of The Lying Days (1953), Gordimer's work began to attract critical attention. As a novelist, short-story writer and essayist, her output has been astonishing and she has been awarded a number of prizes, including the 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature. A tireless campaigner for human rights, Gordimer became one of the most outspoken critics of apartheid, both at home in South Africa and abroad. Her work reflects a strong humanist perspective and like so many of the earlier post-colonial writers, her politics became central to the thematic concerns of her novels and short-stories. She continues to live in Johannesburg. Some of her most important works are : Guest of Honour The Conservationist Burger's Daughter July's People The essential Gesture: Writing, Politics and Places

" Birthplace Transvaal, South Africa Education University of Witswatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa (English) Did you know? For a 1976 collection of 700 authors' self-portraits, Gordimer drew a picture of two cats. Critical verdict 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.
