Forthcoming Doris Lessing Book

[Ya Sam]

Has she grown Houellebecqish?

"I saw a science magazine which said that the basic human type is female and 
that men came along afterward," she explains. "You have an original 
community of females, on a seashore, very conventional. Then, one gives 
birth to a baby boy and somehow the boy manages to grow up.

"So I've written a story based on this. I have it all told by a literary 
Roman senator - an aristocrat, very reactionary - discussing the very 
violent revolutionary, and evolutionary, changes.

"I noticed that my typist at the publishing house was shocked by some of the 
words I used. I can't wait to see what people make of it. Some people will 
hate every word of it; it's not politically correct."
