Doris Lessing's Nobel Prize

Doris Lessing....Ironically, I'm probably one of a few dozen people who read a couple of her dark, boring novels...that haunt you afterward...I even have one of the Canopus in Argos series here in my library ...

The BBC Writes:
The Swedish Academy, which awards the prize, described Lessing as "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny".

"Oh good, did they say that about me?" she replied. "Oh goodness, well obviously they like me better now than they used to."
