Product Description
Review
‘One brings away a sense of the sheer impossibility of Africa, as a place fit only for habitation by the imagination of exiles and of children. All else seems lost, betrayed and spoiled, except the glare of the sun, the dust, the boulders. An impressive collection.’ Daily Telegraph
‘Doris Lessing’s sense of setting is so immediate, the touch and taste of her continent is so strong, that Africa seems to become the universe.’ Newsweek

Doris Lessing & Africa
12 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thirty years ago I read Lessing's The Good Terrorist and I still remember how the novel opened a whole new view of terrorism. This year I decided to read This Was the Old Chief's Country and I understand more clearly the struggles in post colonial southern Africa.It put a different focus on my recent visit to southern Africa, which I am sharing with a new generation of college students. It is a wonderful book!
