Assembled here for the first time in book form are the very best
occasional writings from the winner of the Nobel Prize for
Literature. A selection of the very best of Doris Lessing's essays:
articles on writers as diverse as Jane Austen, Muriel Spark,
Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence and Mikael Bulgakov sit alongside
autobiographical looks at the beliefs that have shaped Lessing's
thinking. There are adoring and adorable pieces on the beloved cats
that she has allowed to share her life, and insightful looks at the
Africa in which she grew up, and London and England, the place
where she made her home. The range of subjects, cultures and
periods within these essays is huge, but the collection is utterly
consistent in one key regard: Doris Lessing's clear-eyed vision and
clearly expressed prose are present throughout. There is a huge
amount of wisdom and entertainment in these pages, shot through
with Lessing's infectiously forthright, zestful and impish spirit.
