Have you heard that Doris Lessing has won the Nobel Prize for Literature? The 88 year old author was nonplussed by the whole affair.
"Lessing's fiction is deeply autobiographical, much of it emerging out of her experiences in Africa. Drawing upon her childhood memories and her serious engagement with politics and social concerns, Lessing has written about the clash of cultures, the gross injustices of racial inequality, the struggle among opposing elements within an individuals own personality, and the conflict between the individual conscience and the collective good." (excerpt from website)
