Title: doris lessing, as usual ,is difficult but provocative
Review: I think that it is fascinating that Ms. Lessing resorts to science (she calls it 'space')fiction to tell her story. It is really several stories and I think each book can be read on its own. They are better read as a whole. I particularly liked the story of the bureaucrat from Sirius. That book is a terrific analysis of a conscientious and pragmatic official who is completely in the dark and how life is gradually illuminated for her. It is a very well written book and I recommend all for any readers but particularly the first, Shikasta, and the Sirius Experiments. ( It has been 10 years since I read these)
Is the review positive or negative?
