A late tribute to Doris Lessing

This year's Nobel Prize in Literature has gone to the 87-year-old British author Doris Lessing, whose novel "The Golden Notebook" (1961) is a classic of women's literature. Lessing also dealt with political themes like communism and colonialism.

The Independent - Gran Bretaña

Literary critic Boyd Tonkin is very happy for this year's Nobel Prize winner, Doris Lessing, "the prolific and path-finding novelist whose writing has for almost six decades captured the inner turmoil and social transformations of a world in flux. ... Her surprise award (beating quoted odds of 50-1) confirms the Academy's shift over the past 15 years towards globally celebrated writers, often from the English-speaking world. ... Fiercely individual, impatient of all labels and categories, Lessing has always gone her own way. Despite her renown as a pioneer of women's fiction, she later broke ranks with 'self-indulgent' feminism, just as she had with Communism. This empathy with the outsider refused all prescriptive limits." (12/10/2007)

Der Standard - Austria

Christian Schachinger thinks it's scandalous that Doris Lessing is only the eleventh woman to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. "It may well be that even for the 87-year-old English writer the Nobel Prize comes too late, but at least it's consistent - consistent with the Swedish Academy's policy, which doesn't always focus on the artistic merits but rather on the politics. This year's choice of prize-winner is testimony to the academy's double bad conscience. It honours not only a political woman, but also a feminist - albeit often against her will. The decision also revives a long forgotten, unfortunate term: 'women's literature'. Back in the 1970s this term led to involuntary marginalisation. The enemy in bed refused to touch pivotal feminist novels like Lessing's 'The Golden Notebook' with a bargepole, never mind analyse them." (12/10/2007)

El Mundo - España

The Spanish journalist and writer Julia Navarro is thrilled to see Doris Lessing awarded the Nobel Prize. "Doris Lessing has managed to square the circle, to achieve the dream of every writer: mingling literary quality with the magic of being read by millions from all backgrounds. Nobody can deny it: She is a great writer with a talent for reaching her readers' hearts. ... I think the jury decided to award the Nobel Prize to Doris Lessing because this extraordinary woman and author is close to the general public: her prize will not only be appreciated by a minority, but delighted in by millions of readers around the world."
