Nadine Gordimer’s
Get a Life (2005)

KEEP A LOOKOUT for Nadine Gordimer’s new novel, Get a Life (2005), a bleak picture of contemporary South Africa, due out from Bloomsbury on November 7, 2005. It’s good to know that the Nobel laureate is still saying things which people do not want to hear: truth and life’s many discontents.
