“The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.”
― Nadine Gordimer
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.
So yes, I am saddened by her passing albeit at a grand age of 90.
I think I'll root out my copy of July's People and have a little read and remember the woman who I admired and who I wanted to grow up to be.
RIP Nadine Gordimer. And thank you.
