    Nadine Gordimer’s short story of a young white girls encounter with a black boy has themes of controversial sexual difference. The story begins with a clever prophetic metaphor‚ ‘reversal of elements’ where the white sky is blackened by smoke.

    ’The Empire Writes Back’ will have been a fitting title for this essay collection. (especially since Achebe doesn’t fail to pay a tribute to Salman Rushdie’s essay of the same name published in 1982). Because that is what the running theme here is - a reclamation of a land and a culture that was wrested away with brutal force and made a part of an ’Empire’ which still insists on viewing that period as one of glory and not characterized by the most despicable human rights violation ever and a heralding

    During the uprisings of the 1970s‚ Nadine Gordimer presented a very dreary and pessimistic prophecy to white and black South Africa in July’s People. This prophecy suggested a probable overthrow of the apartheid system which would challenge the currently existing social and racial roles of its inhabitants. Amid the chaos‚ traditional roles would be overturned and new ones are formed as the Smales accept their servant’s offer of refuge and flee to his village in the bush. Additionally‚ Zoe Wicomb

In the short story "Keeping Fit"‚ Nadine Gordimer shows how a life can be changed by a simple event that sheds light to a simple‚ if not cruel‚ truth. The life of the running man was nearly perfect.
