GORDIMER, Nadine - A Soldier`s Embrace - (Excellent Hardcover in Wrapper)

Book and wrapper still in great condition.   >>>    Like a finger directly tapping the sternum, these fictions palpate human relationships in a way that makes much other writing appear to avoid them. The subjects often straddle positions that are stricken with apartheid, and the fiction is expression of a grounded dissidence against compromised positions.   -   The prose is often in long paragraphs. These gather force but remain surprising, interrogative, exclamatory, never shrill. The writing respires with a gravitas that reclaims the dignity of wise speech, thought, and feeling.                              (Michael Vagnetti on Goodreads)    *Short Stories *
