Nobel Prize for Literature Announced
Doris Lessing has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and I could not be more in love.
I mean, look at her!
Lessing, who’s 87-years-young, remarked “I’ve won it. I’m very pleased and now we’re going to have a lot of speeches and flowers and it will be very nice.”
What about candies and parades?
Seriously, I’m in love with this woman. She reminds me of that weird, eccentric lady at the end of the street with all the plants and bungalow-style house who is somehow now very appealing. Because my tastes have moved beyond building forts and into great literature? Plus I’m more tolerant of strange smells.
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”.
Scepticism and Scrutiny. I like it. I love Doris more.
And the news of course thrilled her publisher Harpercollins because everyone of us will go out and buy at least one of dear Doris’ books to see what this quirky, frumpy, sweet old elder is all about.
Now if only there were some way we could hook her up with Millard Kaufman.
Speaking of smells, I’m going to go with eucalyptus or IcyHot for this broad. I’m thinking that she looks like the type to keep Kleenex up her sleeve.
