Lessing was out shopping when the call came and once she returned home to a horde of literazzi, she put down her sacks of vegetables and claimed she "couldn't care less!" But she rather likes the idea she'll acquire more readers! What a woman! Tut-tut and pooh-pooh.

I hope BOL readers will also read the Booklist review of The Sweetest Dream, one of Lessing's truly great novels. I am elated by this choice for the Nobel. At her best, Lessing reaches into the most resonant aspects of human nature. At her, well, worse, she's still mighty intriguing. Thanks, Keir.
