Nadine Gordimer


Den sydafrikanska författarinan Nadine Gordimer (bilden) född 1920 avled i går.
Gordimer fick Nobels Litteraturpris 1991.

"Nadine Gordimer and Nelson Mandela were both part of a cohort that was willing to fight, and essentially risk all, for the sake of humanity. The notions of justice, of honor, of decency, of responsibility to and for other human beings are now largely quaint.
Now, leaders and writers fight for their personal brands and their irony. And their profits."
