ABSTRACT
The following discussion originally took place at the University of
London’s Centre for African and Asian Literatures and focuses on Nadine
Gordimer’s new collection of short stories, Loot (2003). Born in 1923,
Gordimer has consistently condemned the apartheid regime in South
Africa. Unlike many others of her generation, she not only chose to remain
in South Africa during this difficult period, but became centrally involved
with the activities of the African National Congress and the struggle for
freedom. In this interview she discusses the South African world in which
she lived both during the apartheid years and since apartheid was formally
lifted in 1994.
