Farewell, Dear Doris Lessing. Miss you forever...



On death of Nobel Prize-Winning Author Doris Lessing (1919-2013) who is died yesterday at her 94th.

Farewell, Dear Doris. Miss you forever...
Felt very sad when ur publisher Harper Collins reported officially yesterday in London of ur death that u r died in ur sleep last night.

U were celebrated author who published more than 50 books. U won the Nobel Prize in 2007 and became the eldest recipient at the age of 88. Before that, in 2005, U were shortlisted for the first Man Booker International Prize. I happened to read/edit something on ur books The Golden Notebook and The Grass is Singing. Ur work examines the spirit of Romanticism to expand human knowledge to encompass regions beyond the control of reason and the ego. In darkness, the beauty of stars and constellations will be admired all the more now as U r up there shining like a bright star. May ur soul rest in peace!
