Doris Lessing wins Nobel Prize

Photo from the web

Doris Lessing won this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. I haven't read her books but I have copies of them. I have a copy of her short story collection. She is primarily known for her novel The Golden Notebook (pictured below).



For more reports of her winning the prize click here and here.
The Nobel Organization said of Lessing's works: "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny." I don't know what that means.
