«Beethoven tenía algo de negro» is Nadine Gordimer's collection of short stories published by Bruguera in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The story that gives the volume its title presents the inverse case of the old aspiration of some Black people to be taken for white: a white man now claims his Black ancestry. In the stories in the book, Gordimer interweaves the personal and the political and addresses racial identity, memory and human relations with humour and irony.
Original title: Beethoven Was One-Sixteenth Black. Translation by Francisco Rodríguez de Lecea. Spanish edition published in 2008.
For readers of contemporary short fiction interested in Nadine Gordimer's narrative and the social tensions of South Africa.
Nadine Gordimer was a South African writer and political activist. She received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991, recognised as a writer "who through her magnificent epic writing has ... been of very great benefit to humanity".
