The Habit of Loving: Doris Lessing's Short Fiction *Online* *NEW*

For more than four decades, Doris Lessing observed the passion and confusion of human relations, holding a mirror up to society as she dissected the everyday. The anthology To Room Nineteen acts as a profound, unfiltered chronicle of mid-to-late 20th-century life in Europe, tracking the evolution of human psychology, sexual politics, and social disillusionment. In this four-week class, we will read and discuss one story a week. Please obtain Doris Lessing's To Room Nineteen Flamingo Modern Classic ISBN-13: 978-0007143009) and read "Pleasure" for our first meeting.
