| Summary/Abstract |
"Señor C," an aging author, has been asked by his German publisher to write his thoughts on the state of the world. These thoughts address a wide range of subjects and include a scathing indictment of Bush, Cheney and Blair, as well as a witheringly honest examination of everything from Machiavelli to intelligent design. Meanwhile, the writer hires a young woman to type his manuscript. The relationship that develops has a profound effect on both of them.

| Summary/Abstract |
At the heart of the story is an interracial couple, Steve and Jabulile, living in a newly - tentatively - free South Africa, he a university lecturer she a lawyer, both comrades in the Struggle and now parents of children born in freedom.There is nothing so extraordinary about their lives, and yet, in telling their story, and the stories of their friends and families, Gordimer manages to capture the tortured, fragmented essence of a nation struggling to define itself in the post-apartheid world of Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma. The subject is contemporary, but Gordimer's treatment is, as ever, timeless.

| Summary/Abstract |
A young English biographer is working on a book about the late writer, John Coetzee. He plans to focus on the years from 197 to1977 when Coetzee, in his thirties, is sharing a run-down cottage in the suburbs of Cape Town with his widowed father. This, the biographer senses, is the period when he was 'finding his feet as a writer'. Never having met Coetzee, he embarks on a series of interviews with people who were important to him ; a married woman with whom he had an affair, his favourite cousin Margot, a Brazilian dancer whose daughter had English lessons with him, former friends and colleagues. From their testimony emerges a portrait of the young Coetzee as an awkward, bookish individual with little talent for opening himself to others. Within the family he is regarded as an outsider, someone who tried to flee the tribe and has now returned, chastened. His insistence on doing manual work, his long hair and beard, rumours that he writes poetry evoke nothing but suspicion in the South African.
