Extractions: UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Joins forces with actor Danny Glover to raise public awareness about global poverty New York, 20 July 1998 Nadine Gordimer, winner of the 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature, was named Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Johannesburg, South Africa today. Ms. Gordimer's commitment to social justice and her outspoken support for the disenfranchised have established her as a strong international voice for the world's poor. "Becoming a Goodwill Ambassador will provide me the opportunity to expand awareness and develop partnerships in our ongoing effort to win that fight," Ms. Gordimer said. Ms. Gordimer will join UNDP's other Goodwill Ambassador, actor Danny Glover, as an advocate for the world's 1.3 billion people who survive on less than US$1 a day. UNDP helps people in 174 countries and territories to eradicate poverty by creating income-earning opportunities, advancing the status of women, and protecting the environment. Among the 4.4 billion people who live in developing countries, almost three-fifths live in communities without basic sanitation. Almost one-third is without safe drinking water one-quarter lacks adequate housing, and one-fifth lives beyond the reach of modern health services.

For more information about the design of this site, please read this Posted on Tuesday, March 12, 2002 at 09:56 AM link From the Pretention department: Nadine Gordimer is a Nobel Laureate , so she obviously knows a lot more about writing than I ever will. For example, in her latest novel, The Pickup , she knows how to write sentences such as this one near the end of the second (unnumbered) chapter on page 22: See, I would have thought that too busy of a sentence. While that might be true for my potential readership, I guess a Nobel Prize winner can be assured that a more literary group of people will read her books. That must also explain why she feels free to wait until page 93 before suddenly switching from third-person to first-person for three paragraphs for three paragraphs, then switching back. While I understand that one might not want to be constrained by the traditional use of quote marks to indicate dialog, or question marks to indicate questions, I must confess that I was caught off guard by the sudden perspective switch. I had to read that first paragraph several times to determine exactly whose perspective it was coming from. In retrospect, it should have been obvious, since there were only two characters present in the scene, but I was uncertain because of the implied existence of a third character - the unseen narrator.

In 1991, she received the Nobel Prize for Literature and she has also been awarded the Booker Prize. A lifelong resident of South Africa, Gordimer is an outspoken anti-apartheid activist and a member of the African National Congress. She has written several books about lives shaped by racial discrimination, but rejects the idea that apartheid is the most influential subject in her writing. "This question comes up quite interestingly now in South Africa. People say to all of us here, "What are you going to write about now that there's not more apartheid?" says Gordimer. "Life hasn't ended with the end of apartheid, though, thank God, apartheid has ended.
