From the rear cover
An extraordinary achievement, Telling Times reflects the true spirit of the writer as a literary beacon, moral activist, and political visionary.
With Telling Times, the first comprehensive collection of her nonfiction, Nadine Gordimer, the 1991 recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, bears insightful witness to forces that have shaped our times.
"Ours is the most solitary of occupations; the only comparison I can think of is keeper of a lighthouse. But the analogy mustn't go too far; we do not cast the beam of light that will save the individual, or the world from coming to grief on the rocks."-- Nadine Gordimer
Praise for Nadine Gordimer:
"One of our greatest living writers."--San Francisco Chronicle
"I will always be grateful for the presence in the world of Nadine Gordimer, who has delivered in literature a South Africa most of us could not have known without her."--Gail Caldwell, Boston Globe
"Gordimer has undoubtedly become one of the World's Great Writers . . . her rootedness in a political time, place and faith has never dimmed her complex gifts as an artist."--The Independent
"Nadine Gordimer's work is endowed with an emotional genius so palpable one experiences it like a finger pressing steadily upon the prose."--Village Voice
