- Thank God thats over!
Tedious, ramshackle and utterly utterly self indulgent. I bought this book when I heard she had won the Nobel Prize, and actually read over half of it.
But, Oh what torture! All about herself, which is not good as she comes across as batty, but most of all as hugely boring.
first part set in Rhodesia, but might as well be Victoria Coach Station.
I live in central London, so please come and take my copy away, before I fling it out of my high rise!!

- Call me a philisitne ...
Call me a philistine, but I cannot understand why this monumental and self-indulgent book, first published in 1962, is said to be one the great classics of the 20th century.
It charts the life of Anna Wulf, a writer. Although every page is very well written and the many characters are well individualized, I have found this quite a difficult read. The chapters in this massive tome are enormously long, with few natural breaks: at times there are whole pages between paragraphs.

- Many books, many levels.
Not too much to add to the praise above, but for an interesting - and in my mind heighly accurate - take on the book's structure and form read N. Katherine Hayles superb "Chaos Bound". She looks at the manner in which chaos and order are portrayed in the Notebook within the context of post-structuralism, post-modernism and chaos theory. As for Lessing's work: magnificent
Rating: - Only connect ...
As Doris Lessing discusses in her own introduction (new for this edition), her best-known and best-selling novel has been viewed as being "about" various things: the battle of the sexes and man's inhumanity to woman; mental health; the difficulties facing left-wing politics following the failure and collapse of communism. As she herself points out, there is a definite irony in this, given that her central theme and premise was the need to see things as a whole and avoid compartmentalising different ... Read More
Rating: - All the Amazing Notes
The Golden Notebook is Lessing's most well known of her works and with good reason. It is an incredibly complex and layered work that addresses such ideas as authorship of one's life, the political climate of the 60s and the power relation between the sexes. It would be naïve to consider this novel as just a feminist polemic. I know many people have read it only this way or not read it because they assume it is only this. Lessing articulates this point well in her introduction. The novel inhabits many ... Read More
