Doris Lessing (1919-2013)

       Doris Lessing, the 2007 Nobel laureate, has passed away; see, for example, Helen T. Verongos' lengthy obituary in The New York Times.
       There are a lot of tributes already up -- though the Sunday reactions tend to be literary-editor/journalist dominated.
       See, for example:        See also, for example, Doris Lessing's legacy by Helen Whittle at Deutsche Welle, or RIP Doris Lessing, one of science fiction's most indispensible authors by Charlie Jane Anders at io9.
       See also her lengthy Q & A with Thomas Frick in The Paris Review-series, from 1988, Doris Lessing, The Art of Fiction No. 102, or Nigel Farndale's profile, Doris Lessing: her last Telegraph interview in The Telegraph.

       Lots of books to choose from, of course, but why not start with The Grass is Singing ? Get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.

       And in odd Lessing-related titbits: Paul Krugman notes: "Yes, I had a cat named after her".
