No Time Like the Present is a 2012 novel by South African writer Nadine Gordimer.
 It was Gordimer's last published novel during her lifetime.
 The novel deals with a variety of issues in contemporary South Africa, including unemployment, HIV-AIDS, and corruption.
Get a Life is a 2005 novel by the South African writer Nadine Gordimer.
 The novel tells the story of environmental activist Paul Bannerman and his family.
 Paul is diagnosed with thyroid cancer and, after surgery and subsequent radiation treatment, has to live quarantined at his parent's place for some time.
 This significant change in his life also affects his family.
 The novel received mixed reviews by critics, and departs from other novels by Gordimer as it does not directly deal with Apartheid, instead focusing on the struggle of a single individual.
My Son's Story is the ninth novel by South African novelist Nadine Gordimer.
 It was written towards the end of the State of Emergency and first published in 1990.
 The very next year, Gordimer was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the Swedish Academy explicitly cited "My Son's Story" in their press release, calling it "ingenious and revealing and at the same time enthralling".
Beethoven was One-Sixteenth Black is a book of short stories by Nadine Gordimer, published by Bloomsbury.
 Reviewing the collection in "The New York Times", Siddhartha Deb said: "As she always has, Gordimer offers her readers a rare combination of intimacy and transcendence".
 Jonathan Gibbs wrote in "The Independent": "In her 84th year, Nadine Gordimer has produced a remarkable 10th collection.
 They show none of the "audacity" Richard Ford called for in his recent anthology of American short stories.
 Instead, what they show is tact: a quality that seems bound up in Gordimer's decades of experience.
 There are stories here that a 30-year-old could not have thought to write, let alone written."
July's People is a 1981 novel by the South African writer Nadine Gordimer.
 It is set in a near future version of South Africa where Apartheid is ended through a civil war.
 Gordimer wrote the book before the end of apartheid as her prediction of how it would end.
 The book was notably banned in South Africa after its publication, and later under the post-Apartheid government.
Nadine Gordimer (20 November 1923 – 13 July 2014) was a South African writer, political activist and recipient of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature.
 She was recognized as a woman "who through her magnificent epic writing has – in the words of Alfred Nobel – been of very great benefit to humanity".
The Lying Days is the debut novel of Nobel winning South African novelist, Nadine Gordimer.
 It was published in 1953 in London by Victor Gollancz and New York by Simon & Schuster.
 It is Gordimer's third published book, following two collections of short stories, "Face to Face" (1949), and "The Soft Voice of the Serpent" (1952).
 The novel is semi-autobiographical, with the main character coming from a small mining town in Africa similar to Gordimer's own childhood.
 The novel is also a bildungsroman "about waking up from the naivete of a small colonial town."
A World of Strangers is a 1958 novel by South African novelist and Nobel Laureate Nadine Gordimer.
 The novel included mixed reviews, drawing criticism for its pedantic explanation of Gordimer's worldview.
 The novel was banned in South Africa for 12 years.
The Soft Voice of the Serpent and Other Stories is a short story collection by the South African writer Nadine Gordimer.
 It was first published in 1952 by Simon & Schuster, and largely overlaps her first short story collection, "Face to Face" (1949).
