A Tribute to Doris Lessing

Bill also reflects on his conversation a decade ago with Nobel-prize winning novelist Doris Lessing who passed away earlier this week in London at the age of 94.
When Bill asks Lessing, whose literary career spanned six decades, if she ever stops writing this is how she answered: "No, I'm compulsive and I deeply think that it has to be something very neurotic. And I'm not joking, it has to be. Because if I've finished a book and this wonderful release, which I'm now feeling; it's off, it's in a parcel, it's gone to a publisher. Bliss and happiness. I don't have to do anything, nothing - I can just sit around. But, suddenly it starts, you see. This terrible feeling that I am just wasting my life."

I was a young woman in university when I discovered the writings of Doris Lessing. I loved her work from the first words I read. An amazing writer. cheers

for some reason this woman feels close to my heart. i have some of her books, have not done reading most of them except for the one about cats. i was very sad when i learned of her passing then.
