• W2091727261 abstract "These, the opening two sentences of the third paragraph of Nadine Gordimer's The House Gun (1998), introduce a sequence which appears to be, in narrative terms, fairly accessible. The setting, though it begins to stage a moment of shock and incomprehension, is clear. Claudia and Harald Lindgard, secure in their middle-class professions (she as doctor, he as well-placed business executive) as well as secured for physical safety's sake within the confines of their small but comfortable townhouse in Johannesburg, are faced with a sudden and unexpected entry. The caller at the door, whom Harald has risen to question through the intercom before admitting, turns out to be Julian, a friend of their son Duncan, who has arrived at their home to tell them that someone has been shot and that Duncan has been arrested for the killing. The couple has been interrupted while watching evening news of disasters elsewhere (the television images Claudia is still half-following in her mind), to hear an [End Page 139] account of a sudden and intimate disaster close at hand. The remainder of the novel is an investigation of what the fact of this murder means in the lives of those who surround it, not least in the lives of Harald and Claudia, who must come to terms with it. The immediate and disturbing effect is one of dislocation. The couple, perfectly ensconced in their relationship and respective identities, find themselves occupying a different place within their place, knowing suddenly and without preparation some of the realities that, for instance, have attended the lives of black South Africans. They experience a loss of authority; a certain helplessness in the face of fate; a struggle between speechlessness and speech as they confront a different picture of their lives and legacy; and dependence on the help and power of others. Most directly they depend on Hamilton Motsamai, the lawyer they hire to represent Duncan, who, having risen from the world of impoverishment and exile, is now the figure of wealth and authority whose presence and voice they must come to trust." @default.
