“The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.”

And so we learn about another icon passing on. Well maybe not an icon for everyone, but certainly a woman who gave me inspiration. Who spun words into fantastic writing. Who opened my eyes somewhat.
The first South African to win a Nobel Prize - and a woman at that.

RIP Nadine Gordimer. And thank you.
