Doris May Lessing, CH (née Tayler; 22 October 1919 – 17 November 2013) was a British novelist, poet, playwright, librettist, biographer and short story writer. Her novels include The Grass Is Singing (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called Children of Violence (1952–69), The Golden Notebook (1962), The Good Terrorist (1985), and five novels collectively known as Canopus in Argos: Archives (1979–1983).
Lessing was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature. In awarding the prize, the Swedish Academy described her as "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny".[2] Lessing was the eleventh woman and the oldest person ever to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.[3][4][5]
In 2001, Lessing was awarded the David Cohen Prize for a lifetime's achievement in British literature. In 2008, The Times ranked her fifth on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".[6]
Much to its author's chagrin, The Golden Notebook instantly became a staple of the feminist movement when it was published in 1962. Doris Lessing's novel deconstructs the life of Anna Wulf, a sometime-Communist and a deeply leftist writer living in postwar London with her small daughter. Anna is battling writer's block, and, it often seems, the damaging chaos of life itself. The elements that made the book remarkable when it first appeared--extremely candid sexual and psychological descriptions of its characters and a fractured, postmodern structure--are no longer shocking. Nevertheless, The Golden Notebook has retained a great deal of power, chiefly due to its often brutal honesty and the sheer variation and sweep of its prose.
This largely autobiographical work comprises Anna's four notebooks: "a black notebook which is to do with Anna Wulf the writer; a red notebook concerned with politics; a yellow notebook, in which I make stories out of my experience; and a blue notebook which tries to be a diary." In a brilliant act of verisimilitude, Lessing alternates between these notebooks instead of presenting each one whole, also weaving in a novel called Free Women, which views Anna's life from the omniscient narrator's point of view. As the novel draws to a close, Anna, in the midst of a breakdown, abandons her dependence on compartmentalization and writes the single golden notebook of the title.

要不是萊辛問鼎這一屆諾貝爾文學奬,這本厚達700頁的巨著大概會被很多人遺忘,也隻有等尊榮的諾貝爾提醒我時,這種潛在的遺忘纔顯得格外可惜。今天我終於看完瞭它(用去瞭將近一周),並且,時常感到害怕,因為,她在四十年前所描寫的那位自由女性安娜竟然屢屢讓我覺得熟悉,甚...
評分用去整整一個月來讀,猶豫著不知如何評價。安娜已經成為身體發膚的一個部分,仿佛她就是我,渴望自由,盤鏇無定。 作為女性,我們麵臨同樣的危機。一次又一次感情上的迴絕,政治生活的失望,事業的黯淡,子女的獨立。麵對平庸的女兒簡納特和激進的朋友兒子湯姆,她似乎沒有站在...
評分也不知道在忙什麼,反正搞的看本書都要等到放假,趕命一樣的看完。上學的閑暇時間不是沒有,隻是太零散,這麼長的書,拖著拖著,就忘瞭前麵瞭。而小說畢竟不是論文,小說像是一個圓環,它的首尾是連貫的;或者其實比圓環還要誇張,它的每一部分都與其它任何一部分是可能有關聯...

缺乏由情節帶動的故事和趣味,可能是我還沒有達到欣賞這類作品的境界。
評分直指人心,盡管過去這麼多年,那些關於政治理想,女性自由和碎片化社會精神的文字卻仍然如刀鋒般犀利...
評分老實說,又臭又長…網上看下quote基本就能達到理解作者思想的目的。
評分Her skill is perfect, but I think she's over using it in this one。 As I read on, the author's insight into the very core of literature reveals itself and astonish me as been led by a lighthouse when you can feel the bank is near you but can't reach it.
評分我能不能在寒假之內把這本700頁的書看完呢? 當年坑爹的畢業論文
