"Ci sono molti matrimoni nei quali due persone, ambedue complicate e cattive fin nel profondo dell'animo, formano una coppia bene assortita, perché si rendono rispettivamente infelici nel modo che ad ambedue serve, quello che il tracciato delle loro vite richiede"

Doris Lessing - L'erba canta

Latest read, The Fifth Child (1988) by Doris Lessing.
Harriet & David, against middle class convention, want a big family. But then the 5th child arrives--and he may not be human.
Great. A classic of literary horror akin to Ian McEwan's The Cement Garden

J'ai lu le Golden Notebook de #DorisLessing, et je ne peux pas dire qu'il s'approche de mon panthéon, même de loin...

La structure du roman est intéressante, et donne la possibilité de personnages en poupées gigognes (on dit plus #russes, en ce moment?). C'est effectivement le cas pour Anna/Ella, mais c'est le seul personnage qui aie finalement une vraie épaisseur. Les autres sont plus une galerie de caricatures vite épuisées...
L'écriture sèche et névrosée ne m'a pas plus concaincu…

Show me what you are reading today/this week/month!
It has been some years since I read this book. Time for a re-read. The dipping in and out of 'madness' is something that has always stuck with me about this storyline.

Intro post! It took me a while to figure out what to say. I've been a software developer or something related like programming instructor or development manager for more than 20 years. I still love it but am trying to start a new career as an author.

My posts are mainly about #writing, #parenting, #MagicTheGathering, and #ProgressiveChristianity.

Favorite authors: #DorisLessing, #LaurenGroff, #HowardThurman, #StudsTerkel, and #TonkeDragt.

“Very few people really care about freedom, about liberty, about the truth, very few. Very few people have guts, the kind of guts on which a real democracy has to depend. Without people with that sort of guts a free society dies or cannot be born.”

― Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook

Doris Lessing's books changed my life when I read them in my late teens.
It was the late Sixties and the world was changing radically.

What we need most right now isn't an unattainable political solution but an entirely new mythos, one that allows for galactic locks, along w/mass extinction events. This selection is a very worthy oral reading from Part 1.

Johor: "This is a catastrophic universe, always; and subject to sudden reversal, upheavals, changes, cataclysms, with joy never anything but the song of substance under pressure forced into new forms and shapes."

The Four-Gated City is so powerful. All of the Children of Violence series has poignancy, but the last one (at least so far) is so immensely powerful. A novel that is both so very much a mirror of its time and somehow eternal. #DorisLessing
