@NobelPrize People need to get a life ! She is a wonderful author. I taught her literature many times over my career of 40 years!

“I can remember being in San Francisco and somebody, a man stands up and says: Now Doris, I hope you’re not going to waste any more time on that boring old realism. And up bounces a woman and says: Now Doris, I hope you’re not going to write any of that awful science fiction.” Author and Nobel Prize laureate Doris Lessing was a formidable writer who wrote more than 50 books that spanned an astonishing number of genres from realistic narratives to autobiographical works and fantasy novels. She was awarded the literature prize in 2007 as "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny."
