about Loot 3. Rate as 1 out of 5, I didn't like it at all. In "The Diamond Mine," a woman recalls her youthful surreptitious sexual initiation, while she
and her parents chauffeured a young soldier to his wartime embarkation. The anopleles mosquito brings death to the saunas and other playgrounds
of the developed world in "The Emissary. In "Homage," one of Europe's aliens visits the grave of the politician he was paid to assassinate. 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.

Loot and Other Stories by Nadine Gordimer: | : Books
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… Expand. Save to Library Save. Create Alert Alert. Launch

brilliant. I therefore have no idea how to rate this book: I would rate the stories I considered brilliant with a 5, but the others have no rating in my
mind.
View 2 comments. One of my mother best friends decided I was supposed to read this book since, when I was younger, I lived for a couple of
months in South Africa. If I have to be honest I am really not into short stories. I find them difficult, somehow obscure, and I don't enjoy myself
reading them. Nothing different here, some good hints but nothing more than that. I liked some stories more than the others but there is still a long
way to go. Oct 05, Sashankh Kale rated it it was amazing.
A brilliant book of great stories; the language was exquisite. Mar 12, Jenny rated it it was amazing. Another brilliant series of gems from one of my
favorite authors and Nobel Prize winners. Her writing challenges the reader to look themselves in the eye when facing hard truths. She manages to
get her points across on morality, racism, honesty, loyalty without being preachy; her firm stance on equality in all areas of life comes through in the
lives of such real-seeming characters.
Her flowing, gentle style is a pleasing contrast to the hard topics she brings to the reader. I'm so grateful Another brilliant series of gems from one
of my favorite authors and Nobel Prize winners. I'm so grateful her writing is in the world. Sep 01, Margaret Carmel rated it liked it. In this short
collection of 10 stories, Gordimer shows an impressive range in these deeply thoughtful, although sometimes flawed stories.
Maybe i'm just not smart enough, but I struggled to follow some of her more contemplative stories here. However, in her stories with the str Like
all short story collections, Nadine Gordimer's Loot and Other Stories has hits and misses. However, in her stories with the strongest narratives I
came away with some intense emotions that I was not expecting.
Especially in her stories Misson Statement, Generation Gap and Karma I found Gordimer's writing style and discussion of internal thought
processes to be very interesting. Diamond Mine especially made my heart hurt in a way I was not expecting and cannot really put a finger on why.

a decade ago when it first came out, albeit at a difficult time in my life. Still, I can't believe the extent to which I had forgotten even the existence of
these stories, which I love for their personal reserve, their political drama, their conveyance of the intricacies of racism and sexism, their utter
respect for the inexorability of mind and body. The story Mission Statement is astonishing; if you want just I took this book out of the library the
other day only to discover that I had read it a decade ago when it first came out, albeit at a difficult time in my life.
The story Mission Statement is astonishing; if you want just one, read that one. May 02, Jerry Pogan rated it it was amazing. An excellent
collection of short stories. All of the stories were good, some better than others, but one was absolutely amazing. The title story "Loot", a short 4
page gem, stood out as a masterpiece. Most of Gordimers writing is done in a very poetic prose and sometimes borders on free-verse poetry. Her
writing is incredible and "Loot" is an excellent example of her talent. Always a difficult author for me to read. Demanding in her style of writing. Jan
