Review:
Book Description:
"No Time Like the Present is Gordimer's best novel since her first, The Lying Days." --Susan Salter Reynolds, Newsday
"To read No Time Like the Present is to plunge into the cauldron that is South Africa today.... Although she is eighty-eight, Gordimer has all the enthusiasm of youth as she celebrates what she sees all around her. Her approach is kaleidoscopic." --Los Angeles Times
"Gordimer sees history, power, and a gnawing desire for something secular yet entwined in every mundane gesture. The personal remains political even when the great political fight has been won." --Maureen Corrigan, NPR
"Every once in a while, you begin to read a book and suddenly realize you are experiencing greatness. This is such a book....There are few, if any, writers today who can match Nadine Gordimer....May she never stop." --The Washington Times
A majestic novel about post-Independence South Africa by the Nobel laureate and Booker Prize winner
