In these twenty-four provocative interviews spanning several decades, Doris Lessing talks frankly to a variety of interviewers - among them Joyce Carol Oates and Studs Terkel - about a wide range of subjects she is deeply concerned with. We hear about her early years in Southern Rhodesia, her involvement in Marxism and Sufism, her views on feminism, science fiction, the problems of autobiography, and her own fiction, especially The Golden Notebook. These conversations, informed by Ms. Lessing's unfailing intelligence and refreshing directness, present an invaluable and up-to-date view of the life and work of an distinguished contemporary writer.
