Gordimer, Nadine


South African novelist and short-story writer. Internationally acclaimed for her fiction and regarded by many as South Africa's conscience, Gordimer was for many years one of the most prominent opponents of apartheid and censorship. Her novel The Conservationist (1974) won the Booker Prize, and she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991.

Much of Gordimer's fiction is set in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is generated by a complex set of public and private concerns, chief among which are the family, sexuality, interracial social interaction and the imperatives of political commitment in the context of apartheid. Some of her work was banned in her native country during apartheid.
