«Un arma en casa» is the contemporary novel by Nadine Gordimer, published in 1998 by Ediciones B in hardcover (351 pages, in Spanish).
A liberal South African couple sees their life change completely when their son confesses to killing a roommate. To face the trial, the couple turns to a Black lawyer recently returned from exile, a risky decision in a country where the end of racial discrimination is only formal. The story explores guilt, love, loss and justice in a South Africa undergoing profound political transformation.
Originally published as The House Gun in 1997, this Spanish edition, translated by Carmen Francí Ventosa, belongs to the 'Tiempos Modernos' collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in post-apartheid South Africa and the social tensions of the era.
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".
