The Late Bourgeois World

The New York Times described the novel as the most "overtly political" of Gordimer's novels comparing it to Cry, The Beloved Country in its potential for shocking those outside of South Africa into acting about apartheid in South Africa.^[1] Kirkus reviews gave it a strong and positive reception, focusing on the engaging style, saying the novel "manages to register a good many symptomatic ideas and subtle feelings which lose nothing in transition to the page; they remain instantaneous and sharp."^[3]
