Yes, I loved her book "Particularly Cats", which I first read maybe 30+
years ago. Every so often I take it off the shelf and read a chapter or
two.

I heard the story on National Public Radio. She had a hard life, to say

Not enough writers like Doris Lessing get the recognition they deserve.

Eighty-eight years old, and still writing.

Wow.
