Doris Lessing

“Lessing had been long overshadowed by other writers” (98).

Doris Lessing is the author behind The Golden Notebook and The Grass is Singing. Lessing grew up in South Africa, a culture that has influenced many of her works. Though it is difficult to believe, Lessing did not graduate high school, but instead taught herself to be an intellectual thinker. This is what makes it important that Clarissa has The Golden Notebook and looks forward to being able to read it. Clarissa herself is an independent thinker, and it is clear why she would enjoy an author such as Lessing.
