Doris Lessing wrote literary fiction, science fiction and autobiography about politics, gender, colonialism, family and the difficulty of holding a stable sense of self. The Golden Notebook follows writer Anna Wulf as she divides her life into separate notebooks for politics, relationships, fiction and personal memory, then confronts the failure of those divisions. The Grass Is Singing is set in colonial Southern Rhodesia and examines race, marriage and isolation, while the Canopus in Argos sequence moves into speculative fiction on a vast civilisational scale. Lessing’s prose ranges from realist and psychological to openly experimental. Her work suits readers of feminist literature, colonial and postcolonial fiction, political novels and literary science fiction. Read more Less
