Description
In this collection of sixteen stories, Gordimer brings unforgettable characters from every corner of society to life: a child refugee fleeing civil war in Mozambique; a black activist's deserted wife longing for better times; and, a rich safari party indulging themselves while lionesses circle their lodge. "Jump" is a vivid, disturbing and rewarding portrait of life in South Africa under apartheid.
Author won Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991

Reviews
"If one were never to read any other literature about South Africa, Gordimer's work would be enough. For more than thirty years she has delineated each shift and change in the system in novels and short stories that intertwine the personal with the political. As a literary keeper of records, she has no peer." Penny Perrick, Sunday Times.
