(AFP: Thomas Lohnes) British writer Doris Lessing has won the Nobel Literature Prize for five decades of epic novels that have covered feminism, politics and her youth in Africa. Lessing, who will be 88 next week, is only the 11th woman to have won the prize since it was first awarded in 1901 and only the third since 1996. The Swedish Academy described Lessing as "that epicist of the female experience who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny". Jonathan Clowes, Lessing's agent, said the writer had not been told yet. "We are absolutely delighted because it is so well deserved," she said. "She doesn't know yet ... she's out shopping and we are trying to get in touch with her before she discovers it in the news."

Dear Doris Lessing: Reading And Writing Online Are Still Reading And Writing from the no,-seriously dept Doris Lessing is getting a fair bit of attention for her acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize for Literature , where she spends a lot of time talking about the hunger for books in Zimbabwe, but then, oddly, blasts computers and the internet as if they're destroying the ability to read and write: We are in a fragmenting culture, where our certainties of even a few decades ago are questioned and where it is common for young men and women, who have had years of education, to know nothing of the world, to have read nothing, knowing only some speciality or other, for instance, computers. What has happened to us is an amazing invention - computers and the internet and TV. It is a revolution. This is not the first revolution the human race has dealt with. The printing revolution, which did not take place in a matter of a few decades, but took much longer, transformed our minds and ways of thinking. A foolhardy lot, we accepted it all, as we always do, never asked: "What is going to happen to us now, with this invention of print?" In the same way, we never thought to ask, "How will our lives, our way of thinking, be changed by the internet, which has seduced a whole generation with its inanities so that even quite reasonable people will confess that, once they are hooked, it is hard to cut free, and they may find a whole day has passed in blogging etc?"

Wired members of the literary world knew about Doris Lessing's Nobel Prize before she did, and her first response was an almost studied lack of interest to the financial award or the prestige it might bring. "Oh Christ...I couldn't care less," she is reported to have said when she came in from grocery shopping to find a phalanx of reporters at her doorstep. But even before Lessing showed off her indifference, the press seemed eager to paint her as a departure from her immediate predecessors. According to the New York Times , "Although Ms. Lessing is passionate about social and political issues, she is unlikely to be as controversial as the previous two winners, Orhan Pamuk of Turkey or Harold Pinter of Britain, whose views and comments on political situations led commentators to suspect that the Swedish Academy was choosing its winners in part for nonliterary reasons." In the past few years, these "nonliterary reasons" have been specifically linked to authors and or political figures (in the Peace Category) who have questioned the United States' involvement in Iraq.

Breaking Media News They could have given it to Philip Roth for paeans to his penis. They could have found some previously untranslated shepherd in Transylvania writing haiku in a language spoken by a dozen other shepherds. They could have found some trendy political prisoner, jailed for his writing. But, amazingly, the Nobel committee decided to recognize a woman writer whose work has opened up the female soul to literary scrutiny, chronicled and questioned the war between the sexes, refused to categorize the human species by clich© or received wisdom and allowed her great imagination to engage the universe. This prize gives me hope that one day women writers maybe celebrated for their creativity rather than diminished for their gender. Doris Lessing's books have irritated me as much as delighted me. I believe that the greatest writers are irritants. (Think of Jonathan Swift).

Search ON POLITICAL CORRECTNESS Questions you should never ask a writer By Doris Lessing Published: October 15, 2007 document.writeln(''); E-Mail Article Listen to Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Text Size On Thursday, the novelist Doris Lessing won the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature. Moments after the announcement, the literary world embarked on a time-honored post-Nobel tradition: assessing - and sometimes sniffing at - the work of the prizewinner. One of the most pointed criticisms of Lessing came from Harold Bloom, the Yale professor and literary critic, who told The Associated Press, "Although Ms. Lessing at the beginning of her writing career had a few admirable qualities, I find her work for the past 15 years quite unreadable." He went on to add that the prize is "pure political correctness." Interestingly, Lessing had some strong thoughts about political correctness, thoughts she expressed in this adapted article, which appeared on the New York Times Op-Ed page on June 26, 1992. While we have seen the apparent death of Communism, ways of thinking that were either born under Communism or strengthened by Communism still govern our lives. Not all of them are as immediately evident as a legacy of Communism as political correctness.
