      ab: This paper examines 'freedom' and its state of arrival in Nadine Gordimer's post-apartheid fiction. It explores the possibility of a sense of freedom in the 'white' author, who has shed the burden of writing for a cause in order to prove her allegiance to the truth. In the post-apartheid scenario, Gordimer is liberated of the critical and social pressure to respond actively to the local dilemmas and social conflicts. She experiments with literary conventions and techniques so as to create a euphoric blend of humanistic, sociological and socio-political narratives. There are alternative endings, overlapping and fragmented narratives, intertextual references, multilayered structures, allegoric and symbolic allusions, varied motifs and metaphors that enhance Gordimer's aesthetic endeavor and widen the narrative perspective. She expands her imagination in the post-apartheid era and creates fiction that moves through differing cultural contexts, blurring different temporal and spatial boundaries.
