Synopsis
Doris Lessing’in eşsiz duyarlılığı, yazdıklarını zamanın ruhunun ötesine taşır. Bu analiz edilecek bir yetenek değildir, sadece onurlandırılabilir.”
-Joyce Carol Oates-
Savaşın son günleri yaklaşırken Martha Quest Afrika’daki komünist harekete olan inancını kaybetmiştir ve hareketin liderlerinden biriyle olan evliliği de çökmektedir. Uğradığı karakter erozyonundan kaçmaya çalışan Martha, yeni bir aşka tutunacak ve boğucu mutsuzluğundan kurtulmaya çalışacaktır. Fakat her zamankinden daha cesur olmayı gerektiren bu dönem, geleceğe dair hiçbir güvencesi olmayan insanların zayıflıklıklarıyla daha da zorlaşır. Güneş her gün doğmaya devam etse, şehirler her gece ışıklarla aydınlansa da Martha ve etrafındakilerin üzerine düşen karanlık gölge her geçen gün büyümektedir.
Nobel ödüllü Doris Lessing’in yarı otobiyografik roman serisi “Şiddettin Çocukları”nın dördüncü kitabı Kıyısız, II. Dünya Savaşı’nın son aylarına odaklanıyor. Lessing savaş sonrası ruh halinin derinlikli bir portresini çizerken, yenik düşen ideallerin bireylerin yaşamları üzerindeki etkisini eksiksiz bir kavrayış ve ironiyle anlatıyor.
“Eğer 20. yüzyıl yazarları için bir Rushmore
Dağı Anıtı olsaydı, üzerine oyulmuş yüzlerden biri
kesinlikle Doris Lessing olurdu.”
-Margaret Atwood-

Review
"This work will rank with the foremost fictional commentaries on events in our century.""-- Milwaukee Journal""Doris Lessing is the Cassandra of the documentary novel...crying for something harshly denied to our age: a longing for magic, for the irrational. Her concern for life, her independence of judgment and her gift for diagnosing our hydra-headed social ills is extraordinary." -- "Observer" "She is not the only best woman novelist we have but one of the most serious and intelligent and honest writers of the whole post-war generation." -- "Sunday Times" (London)"Imaginatively conceived...Lessing is a shrewd, dispassionate observer of contemporary history." -- "New Republic""I read the Children of Violence novels and began to understand how a person could write the problems of the world in a compelling and beautiful way. And it seemed to me that was the most important thing I could ever do." -- Barbara Kingsolver"A woman has slipped into the uneasy circle of England's Angry Young Men. No charter member of the club--not even Osborne or Amis--can have mush to teach author Doris Lessing." -- "Time"
