Six Feet of the Country by Nadine Gordimer

4.0

Several of the stories in this collection, I'm not sure if by design, follow a pattern of sketching out and filling in a relationship between two people, usually who differ in gender/racial identification, then a calamity befalls them, and then the lens zooms out at the end to describe the end of the affair only in terms in legal terms/simulated court record. I liked "Six Feet of the Country," "Good Climate, Friendly Inhabitants," "A Chip of Glass Ruby," and "City Lovers" the best.
