THURSDAY TRAILBLAZER: Doris Lessing

Apparently her mother had rigid regimes and...

Lessing told an interviewer...

The Golden Notebook — readers wanted

if:book readers may remember my excited post from last October when Doris Lessing won the Nobel Prize. I had coincidentally re-read The Golden Notebook over the summer and when I realized that none of my younger colleagues had read it, or even knew anyone of their generation who had read it, I started musing about the possibilities of having readers from two generations reading it together, commenting...

Doris Lessing: The Fifth Child

When Doris Lessing won the Nobel Prize for Literature last year, I wasted no time in getting hold of one of her books: The Golden Notebook , as it was the only one they had in my local bookshop. I then wasted even less time reading it …by which I mean I didn’t bother. It seemed so long (”But novels - they’re all long, aren’t they? They’re all so long ,” as my namesake put it in Martin Amis’s Money...

Doris Lessing’s what-if family history

One may write a life in five volumes, or in a sentence. How about this? Alfred Tayler, a vigorous and healthy man, was wounded badly in the First World War, tried to live as if he were not incapacitated, illnesses defeated him, and at the end of a shortened life he was begging, “You put [...]
