Abstract	:	Nadine Gordimer's The Pickup provides a deeply insightful view into the lives of two characters lived at the borders of modern society. Soon after Julie, a white, wealthy ingénue from South Africa, meets Ibrahim, an illegal from an undisclosed Arab world struggling to eke a living, he is deported back to his homeland. Julie insists on accompanying him and in this Arab world experiences a profound journey of self-discovery and awareness. She embraces Ibrahim's life in every conceivable way, while Ibrahim himself cannot. Instead, he embraces an opportunity to travel to America to build a life in the land where Julie's mother lives. In this juxtaposition, Gordimer examines the intricate relations between those having the right to choose their place and those who do not.
