Beethoven was One-Sixteenth Black is a book of short stories by South African writer Nadine Gordimer, published by Bloomsbury.[1][2][3]
Reviewing the collection in The New York Times, Siddhartha Deb wrote, "As she always has, Gordimer offers her readers a rare combination of intimacy and transcendence".[4] Jonathan Gibbs wrote in The Independent:
In her 84th year, Nadine Gordimer has produced a remarkable 10th collection. They show none of the 'audacity' Richard Ford called for in his recent anthology of American short stories. Instead, what they show is tact: a quality that seems bound up in Gordimer's decades of experience. There are stories here that a 30-year-old could not have thought to write, let alone written.[5]
