| 520 | 1 | _a"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 recalls her youthful surreptitious sexual initiation while she and her parents chauffeured a young soldier to his wartime embarkation. | |
| 520 | 8 | _aA minuscule presence brings death to the saunas and other playgrounds of the developed world in "The Emissary." "Mission Statement" is the story of a development agency official's idealism, the ghosts of colonial history, and a love affair with a government official that ends astoundingly. "The Generation Gap" turns the "gap" upside down when a father's bid for freedom shocks his adult children. In "Homage," one of Europe's alien immigrants visits the grave of the politician he was paid to assassinate. | |
| 520 | 8 | _aIn "Karma," Gordimer's inventiveness knows no bounds: in five returns to the earthly life, a disembodied narrator, taking on different ages and genders, testifies to unfinished business - critically, wittily - and questions the nature of existence."--BOOK JACKET. | |
