A Guest of Honour is a 1970 novel by South African writer Nadine Gordimer. A Guest of Honour explores the role of revolutionary ideas in new African states.




Critical reception


The New York Times reviewer Thomas Fisk called the novel "a long, spacious, comprehensive work of fiction" which has "something Olympian, something magnificently confident [about how] this South African writer goes about her work." Fisk's review focuses on the stylistic qualities of the novel, calling the characters "exceedingly human: complicated, erring, driven by fleshy appetites and by the loftiest resolves" and discussing the setting as a "landscape so tactile and so sensuous that it becomes a participant in everything that occurs".
