The Essential Gesture: Writing, Politics and Places

Rating:
Summary: Recommended for Gordimer fans
Review: I have read several of Gordimer's novels so I was prepped to like this book and I did. I learned a lot about South African politics and also appreciated her novels more, after having received some context for them. My only real caveat is that essays of these type can seem dated rather quickly, especially when they concern an area of such great political flux, and may seem difficult or irrelevant to some.
