	Lionel Abrahams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lionel Abrahams (1928– 31 May 2004) was a South African novelist, poet, editor, critic, essayist and publisher.

	Tributes to Lionel Abrahams
		Lionel's valour, honesty, high standards and humour are only some of the qualities that make him so loved and so important to those who have benefitted from knowing him: among them, dozens, no, it must be scores, of writers over at least three decades.
		For all those writers who, like me, were fortunate enough to have Lionel Abrahams teach them the steps and even catch them when they slipped, these lines by Abrahams' wife Jane Fox, from her poem 'The Dancer', conjure the man and the writer in all his gaiety, passion, commitment and supple creation.
		Lionel's complaints and discontents were mostly in defence of meaning and against the casual ruin of language, the conduit that connects us most surely as humans.

		Lionel Abrahams, who died this week aged 76, was one of South Africa’s most influential and beloved literary figures.
		Abrahams was a master of the contemplative lyric form, examining personal experience in a time of political upheaval in South Africa.
		Abrahams foreshadowed the appeal made by Albie Sachs in the late 1980s, when he asked whether culture always had to be a weapon of the struggle, and he pre-empted Njabulo Ndebele’s later call for a “rediscovery of the ordinary”.

		PART II: Poet, novelist and critic Lionel Abrahams is one of the most influential figures in South African literature.
		Abrahams encourages people to write from their own experience, and although this is the most helpful way to teach the craft, it does sometimes result in a walled-in generic suburbia that seems to be floating atop, rather than engaging with, the kind of South African experience about which Bosman was so passionate.
		On guruness, Lionel Abrahams has this to say: "I have been presented as an establishment figure, as though I were part of an important institution.

	Books In Review: The Celibacy of Felix Greenspan
		Indeed, I felt that if this were to continue, my mental difficulties would soon outweigh my physical ones as I tried to sort out which was the real me-the wretch in the wheelchair or the complicated, intelligent, sturdy, and resourceful person I knew myself to be.
		I recalled this incident when I read The Celibacy of Felix Greenspan, an almost certainly autobiographical novel by Lionel Abrahams, a South African poet who was born with cerebral palsy.
		On the jacket of the book is a reproduction of a haunting portrait in oils, which I take to be a portrait of the author as an intense, brooding, bearded young man, arms crossed in his lap, one large hand seemingly relaxed, the other in a fist.

		After the publication of Zangwill's article, Sir Lionel Abrahams, a distinguished English civil servant and Anglo-Jewish historian, handed in his resignation as a member of the Jewish Territorial Organisation.
		Zangwill was against Weizmann's plans and in his letter to Sir Lionel Abrahams referred to this scheme as “indefensible and impracticable”.
		With the advantage of hindsight, Abraham Goldberg, who was a member of the Zionist Organization of America's administrative committee, came to the defence of Zangwill, in an article written in 1930.

		The 1960s also saw the emergence of a new generation of white South African poets, among them Douglas Livingstone, Sidney Clouts, Ruth Miller, Lionel Abrahams and Stephen Gray.
		Their work ranges from powerful apprehensions of natural life (Livingstone) to more interior, meditative considerations (Abrahams) and a sardonic socio-political sensibility (Gray).
		Abrahams has written two semi-autobiographical novels, The Celibacy of Felix Greenspan (1977) and The White Life of Felix Greenspan (2002).
