The winner of this year’s Nobel prize for literature did not hear the announcement. Doris Lessing was out shopping and came home to be told the news by the reporters waiting on her doorstep.
Doris Lessing is a prolific author, and many of her books are on the shelves at Rodney Libraries, unless someone has rushed in to take them to read over the weekend, as happened up here at Warkworth his morning. Many of her titles were already out, so she is popular around the district with our readers.
You can find out more about the announcement and reaction to it at the Fox News website or in this story from the New York Times.
To find out more about the author visit the Doris Lessing website or read this interview with the author last year from the Newsday site
