Wheel of Fortune

Doris Lessing

It was announced today that Doris Lessing won this year's Nobel Prize for Literature for her lifetime body of work. Years ago I read The Golden Notebook, which is hailed as having a profound influence on the feminist movement. I was barely in my twenties when I read it and don't remember much of it. Probably need to read it in retrospect. Some weeks ago I heard on NPR a review of her newest book, Cleft, which is about a society evolving from an all female species to one polarized, like ours, by male and female. I haven't ordered it as yet, but will probably do so now.

I am much more in a reading, movie, T.V. watching, passive mode at the moment--don't feel inspired to write at all. I might blog more, just feeling unoriginal and uncreative. This may pass, or not....
