Either my tastes have changed since I first read Gordimer (which is entirely possible - since I first read her in college 11 or 12 years ago) or she's changed her style in this book a little. Jump and other Stories is one of my favorite books ever, but I may have to re-read it now to see if it's as good as I thought it was. This collection....not so good. I think I was most disheartened by the lack of dialogue. Gordimer doesn't have the characters talking. Instead, she describes what they're saying. It makes things clumsy. I guess in general, there's less fire in her work since so much of it was based on apartheid and with that demise, there's a little less to write about. There's still absolutely racial tension and prejudice, but it's not as blatant as it was before. Those problems being a little more of an undercurrent rather than a main focus blunts some of the shock Gordimer was able to bring up in her previous works.

A startling new work from a Nobel prize-winning author- ten short stories, each a revelation of our interior lives, each entering unforeseen contexts of our contemporary world. In the title story an earthquake exposes both an ocean bed strewn with treasure among the dead, and the avarice of the town's survivors. In The Diamond Mine a woman remembers her first, passionately erotic experience, hidden, in the company of her parents, with a soldier who may not be alive to remember her. The anopheles mosquito brings death to the saunas and other playgrounds of the developed in The Emissary. In Karma, Gordimer's inventiveness knows no bounds- in five returns to the earthly life, taking on different ages and genders, a disembodied narrator testifies to unfinished business - critically, wittily - and questions the nature of existence.
