“Clarissa’s copy of The Golden Notebook lay on the chipped white nightstand of the attic bedroom” (98).
The Golden Notebook is a novel by Doris Lessing focusing on the narcissistic aspects and the problems of the general society from the viewpoint of an artist. Cunningham specifically places The Golden Notebook on Clarissa’s nightstand because it is such a revolutionary novel and to show Clarissa reading it brings the feeling that Cunningham is trying to promote Lessing’s ideas.
