Doris lessing was born in 1919 in Persia, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabawe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.
One year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950.The Grass Is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer’s wife and her black servant.
Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with the publication of The Golden Notebook, which was regarded as a pioneering work of modern feminism(女权主义). A separated study of the mind of the main character ,Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics and relationships with men and sex.
Lessing’s themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s ,and by the 1970s she is extremely interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism(苏菲教派).Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to win new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature ,both in 2001.
Following the announcement ,the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing’s selection.
“She is one of the truly great writers—of novels, short stories ,fiction and no-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is on of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience , and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers.

B
Chocolate soap is supposed to be good for the skin. But it’s not so good for the tongue. Unfortunately for the US soldiers of World War II, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath.
In the army’s defense, it wasn’t trying to win any cooking awards. In fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldn’t eat them too quickly. These bars were created for survival, not taste. “They were awful,” John Otto, a former army captain in World War II said. “They were big, thick things, and they weren’t any good. I tried them, but I had to be awful hungry after I tried them once.”
As unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them. Samuel Hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed. “It soon became obvious that the generous American soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens.”
The bars turned many hungry Europeans into friends of the United States. “People wanted them,” said Otto. “You’d give them to kids. In some places they were very hungry. And they sure helped relax people about American soldiers.”
Otto said he never saw a European turn his or her nose up at the chocolate. “It was food,” he said. “At that time, everyone was very hungry. I saw German kids standing outside the U.S. army kitchen. They weren’t begging, just standing there very politely. When we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage. They were that hungry.”
Other Europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended. “We didn’t see any Americans where I was,” said Elizabeth Radsma, who was 25 years old when the Germans occupied her country, the Netherlands. “Even after the war, we saw only English. Maybe the Americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town. Before the British, we saw only German soldiers. But chocolate? Don’t make me laugh! Maybe in my dreams!”
A soldier in the field might have responded “Be careful what you wish for” — and then gratefully bit down on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles.
61. What was the American soldiers’ attitude tow
