Despite winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, Doris Lessing has
received relatively little critical attention. One of the reasons
for this is that Lessing has spent much of her lifetime and her
long published writing career crossing both national and
ideological borders. This essay collection reflects and explores
the incredible variety of Lessing's border crossings and positions
her writing in its various social and cultural contexts. Lessing
crosses literal national borders in her life and work, but more
controversial have been her crossings of genre borders into sci-fi
and "space fiction," and her crossing of ideological borders such
as moving into and out of the Communist Party and from a colonial
into a post-colonial world. This timely collection also considers a
number of the most interesting recent critical and theoretical
approaches to Lessing's writing, including work on maternity and
abjection in relation to The Fifth Child and The Grass is Singing,
eco-criticism in Lessing's 'Ifrakan' novels, and postcolonial
re-writings of landscape in her African Stories.
