The Late Bourgeois World by Nadine Gordimer

The Late Bourgeois World by Nadine Gordimer

Liz Van Den Sandt's ex-husband, Max, an ineffectual rebel, has drowned himself. In prison for a failed act of violence against the government, he had betrayed his colleagues.

Now Liz has been asked to perform a direct service for the Black Nationalist movement, at considerable danger to herself. Can she take such a risk in the face of Max's example of the uselessness of such actions? Yet ... how can she not?

Superb.. [Nadine] Gordimer's persuasiveness is achieved with one of the lightest and yet most inexorable touches you will find in contemporary writing * New York Times *
Miss Gordimer has earned herself a place among the few novelists who really matter * Observer *
A fine, compassionate, and exquisitely written work * Times Literary Supplement *
