Loot and Other Stories by Nadine Gordimer

4.0

Wow. Is more Nadine Gordimer work in my future? This collection of stories is delicious with a eerie tinge. Perhaps the reader feels like a voyeur peeking into the lives of others with whom you do not want to be like but know you are. Perhaps the intricate renderings of the human condition feel too gross to look at head on but feel so true in their realness. The opening story was my favorite that has stuck with me. It’s a shame I found this in the giveaway pile from my community college library purge. It had never been checked out. Despite Georgia O’Keefe’s Wave Night on my hardback copy’s cover. She now lives with me to inspire my short story writing dreams.
