Doris Lessing won the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature, the Swedish Academy announced this morning, “that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny.”
Lessing was born in what was then part of Persia, and now lives in England.
So, I suppose there’s little chance she was educated in U.S. public schools . . .
The Nobel Peace Prize should be announced tomorrow, and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics is scheduled for Monday.
