Description: Beethoven Was One ~ Sixteenth and Other Stories by Nadine Gordimer 2008 ~ 1st Edition 1st Printing & clipped DJ Nobel Prize winning author Penguin, 2008. VG+. Minor flaws and shelf edge wear. A clean, bright and tight copy of a quality collectible book. Nadine Gordimer (born 20 November 1923) is a South African writer, political activist and Nobel laureate. Her writing has long dealt with moral and racial issues, particularly apartheid in South Africa. She was active in the anti-apartheid movement, joining the African National Congress during the days when the organization was banned. She has recently been active in HIV/AIDS causes. Gordimer has achieved lasting international recognition for her works, most of which deal with political issues, as well as the moral and psychological tensions of her racially divided home country. Virtually all of Gordimers works deal with themes of love and politics, particularly concerning race in South Africa. Always questioning power relations and truth, Gordimer tells stories of ordinary people, revealing moral ambiguities and choices. Her characterization is nuanced, revealed more through the choices her characters make than through their claimed identities and beliefs. She also weaves in subtle details within the characters names.
