Nobel laureate for literature in 1991, Nadine Gordimer, praised education of the Cuban people and its reading habit of world literature.

This last weekend I observed thousands of Cubans giving great importance to books, words, and ideas, said Gordimer who will soon be 87.

The South African writer expressed admiration of the 19th International Book Fair 2010 in which she presented her novel, Un capricho de la naturaleza, edited by the Arte y Literatura seal in Cuba.

According to specialists Gordimer narrative is an example of steel technique, sober, lacking in flowering and sentimentalisms and exquisite care of formal perfection.

The writer is convinced that "an artist is also a political being constantly aware of what occurs in the world, be it bitter or sweet and cannot prevent being affected by these events."
