1974'te Man Booker Odulunu, 1991'de Nobel Edebiyat Odulu'nu kazanan Guney Afrikali yazar Nadine Gordimer’in olum yildonumu ( 13 Temmuz 2014 )
“ Yalnizca yol kenarindaki yapraklari supuren copcu. Komsular gormus olabilir, ama bir hafta ici sabahinda herkes ya ise gitmistir ya da diger gundelik nedenlerle disaridadir. O, ailesinin evine vardiginda, kadin orada, park yeri girisinde gulumsuyordu ve birbirlerine sarilamayacak olmalarina neden olan bu tuhaf ( ama gecici ) durumu kabullenip dalga gecmeleri gerektigine dair isareti hemen hissetmisti. Gecmiste kalmis bir sarilma, gecmiste kalmis bir kucaklasmadan daha az duygusaldir. Her sey olagan. Copcu biten yazi supurerek geciyor. Isin saciyor. Kelimenin tam anlamiyla isin saciyor. Ama baslarinin uzerinde hale olan azizler gibi degil. Onu oldurmekte olan seyi tahrip etmek icin kullanilan zararli bir madde yuzunden cevresindekilere gorunmeyen tehlikeler saciyor. Sorun bogazindaydi. Tiroit bezi kanseri. Hastanede tecrit altinda tutuluyordu. Seslerden bile yalitilmisti; bir sure icin sesi yoktu, dilsizdi. Ses telleri de etkilenmis. Dokundugu her kim ya da ne olursa olsun, onlari yaydigi tehlikeye kontrolu disinda maruz birakiyor ve birakmaya devam edecek. ” Yasamaya Bak
“ Only the street-sweeper swishing his broom to collect fallen leaves from the gutter.The neighbours might have seen, but in the middle of a weekday morning everyone would be out at work or away for other daily-life reasons.She was there, at the parents' driveway gate as he arrived, able to smile for him, and quickly sense the signal for them to laugh at, accept the strangely absurd situation ( only temporary ) that they could not hug one another. A foregone hug is less emotional than a foregone embrace. Everything is ordinary. The sweeper passes pushing the summer's end before him .Radiant. Literally radiant. But not giving off light as saints are shown with a halo. He radiates unseen danger to others from a destructive substance that has been directed to counter what was destroying him. Had him by the throat. Cancer of the thyroid gland. In hospital he was kept in isolation. Even that of silence; he had no voice for a while, mute. Vocal cords affected. He remains, he will be still, out of his control, exposing others and objects to what he emanates, whomever and whatever he touches. ”
