Literaire Leeskring: ‘The Conservationist’ van Nadine Gordimer
Dinsdag 18 April 2023 19:30 - 21:30

Inleiding door: Marijke Mooijaart. De leeskring is in het Nederlands. Op 18 April 2023 bespreekt Marijke Mooijaart The Conservationist van Nadine Gordimer. Nadine Gordimer The Conservationist. Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son, and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm. Nadine Gordimer is the author of eleven previous novels, as well as collections of stories and essays. She has received many awards, including the Booker Prize (for The Conservationist in 1974) and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991.
