Doris Lessing compares IRA terrorism to September 11th
In an interview conducted by Juan Cruz, the British novelist Doris Lessing, this year's Nobel Prize winner for literature, considers IRA terrorism. "People forget that the IRA made attacks on our government, that it killed several people during a conservative party conference where the Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher was present. People forget. The 11th of September was terrible, but if we look back on the history of the IRA, what happened to the Americans is not as bad. Any American will say I'm crazy. Many people died, important buildings were tumbled, but it wasn't as terrible or extraordinary as some people believe; such people are either naïve or pretending to be."

The old-fashioned struggle of the feminists
In an interview, the British novelist Doris Lessing considers the influence of her book, 'The Golden Notebook', which became a seminal reference work in the women's liberation movement following its publication in 1976. "It has always annoyed me that 'The Golden Notebook' became the 'Bible of Women's Lib' because I never intended to write a feminist essay, but rather about the lives of women. People continue to believe that it was some political manifesto. Absolutely not. (...) I did not like feminism in the 60's and 70's, and I still don't like it today. I have always been repelled by the anti-male attitude of these young leftist women who hated guys, marriage and children. It was ugly and, more importantly, a waste of time. They should have gone about things differently. And feminists continue to understand nothing about anything."
