which relationships proceed and feel, how they alternatively repress and
provoke that self-knowledge which is crucial to the development of
character and spirit.
"Her grasp of what is actually happening in the world is ministerial," wrote
Margaret Drabble. "Doris Lessing is one of the very few novelists who have
refused to believe that the world is too complicated to understand."
Here are thirty-five stories, ranging from short, resonant sketches to the
superb novellas, The Temptation of Jack Orkney and The Other Woman (the
latter never published before in America). They constitute a major aspect of
Doris Lessing's work, powerfully conveying the uncompromising vision of
one of the most passionately admired writers in the world today.
Note:
The stories in this book were taken from the following previously published
anthologies:
A Man and Two Women
The Habit of Loving,
The Temptation of Jack Orkney and Other Stories
Five
The story "The Witness" does not appear in the British edition of the
collected stories. However, they contain a story called "Out of the Fountain"
which is not included in the American edition.
Three of these stories were made into a film in 1991.
