From social realism to science fiction, class conflict to mental breakdown the work of few writers experiments with the boundaries of fiction or offers such imaginative challenges as that of Doris Lessing. Over a writing career of more than 40 years,
Doris Lessing has tackled the most urgent concerns of our time. But her work has a lighter side, combining warmth and compassion with shrewd observation.
With the publication of her new collection of stories
London Observed,
Nigel Forde presents a profile of Doris Lessing.
