Jump and Other Stories

By Gordimer, Nadine Synopsis: A new collection of short stories from the author of My Son’s Story. In 16 stories ranging from the dynamics of family life to the worldwide confusion of human values, Nobel Prize-winner Nadine Gordimer gives readers access to many lives in places as far apart as suburban London, Mozambique, a mythical island, and South Africa. Review: “Each story in ‘Jump’ stands on its own, but together they enhance and enlarge one another.” John Edgar Wideman, New York Times Book Review, 9/29/91
