About this title

Synopsis

This major collection contains all of Doris lessing's short fiction, other than the stories set in Africa, from the beginning of her career until now (1980). Set in London, Paris, the south of France, the English countryside, these thirty-five stories reflect the themes that have always characterized Lessing's work: the bedrock realities of marriage and other relationships between men and women; the crisis of the individual whose very psyche is threatened by a society unattuned to its own most dangerous qualities; the fate of women. (Note from back cover.) "Doris lessinbg's artistry is demonstrated over and over in this generous collection." -- TIME
