Answer: Gordimer´s political beliefs are reflected in this story in a way that she puts her view with the device os negatie dialects. For example: “art is the negative knowledge of the
actual world” (“Reconciliation Under Duress” ). Rather, art explores what is not known and
as Adorno explains, “art does not become knowledge with reference to mere immediate reality”
. Throughout her novels, Gordimer avoids references to the “immediate reality.” As Ettin
explains, we never get a full picture of the plot and instead the reader must orient himself by considering what has not been said. As Gordimer draws on the theories of Adorno, she portrays the strong appeal of this German, Jewish theorist, further distancing herself from the genre of
black authors and redefining the objective of a political novel.

Theseus and the Minotaur said that the short story
Hema’s mother has a powerful connection to her Bengali culture, and she also has the culture of being a mother. She talks to Kaushik in Bengali language, yet also she also has the sympathy and care of a mother for her child, which is common in all cultures. Kaushik has a mix of American and Bengali culture, that’s why she understands Hema’s mother when she talks to him in Bengali, even though he replies in English. As Kaushik went to the market, he brought back broth and magazines which is quite popular in American culture. The passage shows how Jhumpa’s life is a mix of cultures that integrates with one another. She has Indian culture but was raised in American culture, and that entwines with the culture of her ancestors.
