My most memorable short story in this anthology is 'Africa kills her sun'by Ken Saro-Wiwa. It constitutes a dark satire on the effects of all-encompassing corruption and pervasive graft in Nigerian society and Africa in general.

Quite a moving anthology... especially Ken Sarow-Wiwa's
it was part of my high school curriculum. Very interesting short stories from all over Africa. Got me to appreciate how people in other African countries go through. I also got to see the similarities that we as Africans have. I found myself reading the short stories over and over again, not only for my exams but also for fun. its one of those books that got me to appreciate the importance of reading books. Real book.
Amazing read.

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).
If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role 'editor'). Contributing authors' names follow it.
Note: WorldCat is an excellent res

By now, you know that Nadine Gordimer has died. She was 90 years old. Back in 1991, when she won the Nobel Prize, The New York Times made this announcement:

Africa

Nadine Gordimer, whose novels of South Africa portray the conflicts and contradictions of a racist society, was named winner of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature today as her country finally begins to dismantle the system her works have poignantly explored for more than 40 years.

In a brief citation, the Swedish Academy, which confers the awards, referred to her as 'Nadine Gordimer, who through her magnificent epic writing has -- in the words of Alfred Nobel -- been of very great benefit to humanity.'

The academy also added that 'her continual involvement on behalf of literature and free speech in a police state where censorship and persecution of books and people exist have made her 'the doyenne of South African letters.'

Yesterday, The New Yorker commented that, although she wrote 15 novels, it was 'through her short fiction Gordimer made her presence felt the most.' Gordimer published her very first short story, 'Come Again Tomorrow,' in a Johannesburg magazine in 1938, when she was just 15 years old. Thirteen years later, there came another first -- the first of many stories she published in The New Yorker ('A Watcher of the Dead”). Although many of Gordimer's New Yorker stories remain locked up, available only to the magazine's subscribers, we've managed to dig up several open ones. Above, you can watch Gordimer read her 1999 story called 'Loot' while visiting Harvard University in 2005. The text has since been re-published on the Nobel Prize web site. Below, you can also listen to author Tessa Hadley read 'City Lovers,' first published in The New Yorker in 1975. The story 'focusses on a love affair between a white man and a 'colored' woman in Apartheid South Africa. It’s deeply political in its details—the man is a geologist at a mining company, the couple’s affair is illegal, and they cover it up by pretending that she is his servant. '

Other Gordimer stories available online include 'The First Sense' and 'A Beneficiary', published respectively in The New Yorker in 2006 and 2007. 'The Second Sense' came out in The Virginia Quarterly, also in 2007. If you, dear Open Culture readers, happen to know of any other Gordimer stories published online, please let us know in the comments sections below, and we'll add them to the roundup.
