“The Life of the Imagination” · Nadine Gordimer (Response)

Barbara is lonely, and an affair is partially the result. I wonder about her imaginative following of Dr. Usher through the streets. Is the entire story a fantasy? The little details of their covert communication and rendezvous seem too specific, as well as her personal reactions.
"She learnt that shabbiness is the judgment of the outsider, the one left in the cold; there are no shabby love- affairs for those who are the lovers."
