This is a first printing of My Son’s Story, published in 1990 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. In near fine condition, the book presents tightly bound pages, clean boards, and a crisp, unclipped dust jacket with minimal shelfwear.
In this deeply political and profoundly human novel, Gordimer explores the intersection of family, betrayal, and the struggle against apartheid. Narrated by the son of a teacher-turned-activist, the story offers a complex portrayal of the private costs of public resistance.
Gordimer, one of the most important literary voices of the 20th century, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. This first edition stands as a testament to her enduring power as a storyteller and witness to history.
