Book Synopsis
An extraordinary achievement, Telling Times reflects the true spirit of the writer as a literary beacon, moral activist, and political visionary.

Trade Review
"The reader shares in Gordimer’s 'euphoria' when Mandela is released from prison, and the cause of her lifetime finally triumphs. Fittingly, these years also mark the climax of Telling Times.... Gordimer’s writing reveals the power of 'engagement,' in the broad and humane sense in which she defined it: 'the writer’s exploration of the particular meaning that being has taken on in his or her time and place.'" -- The New York Times Book Review
