LoveReading Says

April 2011 Guest Editor Lesley Lokko on Nadine Gordimer...

One of the first lines of the extraordinary novel, July’s People, by the South African writer goes, ‘You like to have some cup of tea?’ It was the first time I’d ever seen African-accented English in written prose and from that moment on, I was hooked. I grew up in West Africa with a host of accents and languages all around me and I can still recall exactly what it was like to see that world reflected through someone else’s eyes and words. I loved Enid Blyton as a child but Daryl Rivers’ world was a whole galaxy away from mine, and reading Gordimer, aged sixteen, difficult as she sometimes is, sparked a life-long love affair...and is probably the reason I now live in Johannesburg. Books really can and do change your life.
