Our new #LiteReads selection is The Second Sense by Nadine Gordimer! This story was chosen especially for #BannedBooksWeek because of Gordimer's history of her books being banned by the apartheid South African government. You can find a link to read the story through my full intro post on the blog. Be sure to let me know in the comments what you think when you've had the chance to read the story.

pickA slightly uneven collection, but I liked it enough to try some of the author‘s other works. The stories cover a lot of ground—the legacy of Apartheid, love, loss, racism, sexuality, memory, and the inner life of a tapeworm.
Gordimer experiments with syntax and punctuation in a way that I don‘t particularly enjoy.
