Her first short stories were published in 1939, when she was fifteen. In the United States, during the 1950s, her fiction appeared in the New Yorker, among other magazines. Her first novel, "The Lying Days," was published in 1953, after which she produced seven novels, including "Burger's Daughter," which was published to world-wide acclaim. A petite, birdlike, soft-spoken woman, Gordimer manages to combine a fluidity and gentleness with the seemingly restrained and highly structured workings of her mind. It was as if the thirty-five odd years she had devoted to writing at the time met bad trained her to distill passion and as a South African writer she is necessarily aware of being surrounded by passion on all sides-into form, whether of the written or spoken word. At the same time, she conveyed a sense of profound caring about the subject matter of her writing, those subjects natural to any writer concerned with the human condition, but set, in her case, in the heightened context of South African life. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Interview src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Paris Review is the property of Paris Review and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
