Abstract
Nadine Gordrrner's Stories in Crimes of Conscience
Saha Fatim °agar Nadine Gordimer's stories in Crirne5 of Consciencel reveal riot only her mature craftsmanship but also a masterful enmeshing of the political, the public, and the private in the lives of the individuals. These stories, sort of vignettes, deal with the extremely personal aspects of the inhabitants within the regional and social locales of South Africa. Specimens of consummate control in rendering the era in which these characters find themselves, the stories become chronicles of the times of the apartheid rule in South Africa. In his analytical study Nadine Gordimer (1994). Dominic Head writes that Gordimer's "career is one in which private and public realms are intertwined ,.." (2). Head continues to explain that the most remarkable fact about Gordimers oeuvre is its massive historical and political significance as a developing and shifting response to the events in modern South Africa spanning over forty years, almost six decades from 1940s to 199C[s_
