Doris Lessing's "The Golden Notebook" blends reality and speculative fiction beautifully. She said, "The only way to deal with the future is to function efficiently in the now." 🪐📚 #SciFi #DorisLessing
Norsklærer på videregående var imponert over at jeg leste Doris Lessing. «Ja jeg liker å lese science fiction» svarte jeg. «Doris Lessing skriver ikke science fiction» sa han 😆
«På festkvelden kom jeg ingen vei med å prøve å overtale min venn eks-marineoffiseren til å kanskje prøve seg på en science fiction-roman, selv om han var glad i å lese.»
Hva er det som er så bra med science fiction? nyenova.no/fra-den-engere-krets-utsikt-fra-ettertida

Ser rebelde lleva la vida entera,
borrarte los privilegios de la piel,
inscribirte en la soledad del desacuerdo,
dejar atrás a los usurpadores…
No hay premio a una rebelde
más allá de poder regar sus flores…

… Una rebelde tiene como único premio la vida,
porque de ella nadie se apropia,
en ella nadie la usurpa...
Su rebeldía alcanza siempre
a cobijar el desánimo del progreso
y si de paso una rebelde
tiene la alegría en soledad,
ha vencido al mundo.

Lessing's *Canopus in Argos* brilliantly explores civilizations' rise and fall. "The only way to know is to experience." What themes resonated with you most? 🪐📚 #SciFi #DorisLessing
Mulling over the authors that I have read. Doris Lessing, Nobel Prize winner for literature came to mind. Although I would like to say that I have read The Golden Notebook, I spent my early years reading her Science Fiction, including all of the Canopus in Argos: Archives. Excerpt below

I've reconsidered as there is quite a bit of interest in this novel. We will bump it up to 2024!!!! #Lessing24! #DorisLessing give a like to join the group read!!
Any interest in reading #DorisLessing #TheGoldenNotebook? This would be for 2025.

I've had this on my radar since reading a Brecht snippet from the song in #TheGoldenNotebook by #DorisLessing earlier this year - now will put on repeat during some reluctant Fall Cleaning! Thanks!

I read The Four-Gated City, the fifth #book in the Children of Violence series by #DorisLessing about 40 years ago. Since then I’ve been working my way through the earlier #books. I’m now #reading the third, A Ripple from the Storm, and it’s excellent. Lessing is a masterful #novelist.
