nadine gordimer

her writing is so subtle and so playful,

so truthful and yet so sublime...

her measured, distant stance...

she is so polite and yet

so truthful...

it is hard to tell with writers, why

they choose what they choose,,,

she was most happiest when she could express

another's story as truthfully as she could, that

he imagination would permit

in identify with the other.

Susan would say

she was a writer....

to express Adam's rib

and speak of...

who is to say what is what

and who is who

but to know.
