Doris Lessing: The Grass is Singing *Online & In-Person* *NEW*

Set in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) under white British colonial rule, Doris Lessing's novel The Grass is Singing is at once a riveting chronicle of human disintegration, a beautifully understated social critique, and a brilliant depiction of the quiet horror of one woman's struggle against a ruthless fate. In this class, we will read and discuss this Nobel Prize winner's book in four weeks. Please obtain The Grass is Singing (Harper Perennial, ISBN: 978 0061673740) and read the first three chapters for our first meeting.
