A kind of mildew blighting the whole world
I didn't have much time this week to follow the coverage of the literature Nobel, but this deftly reconfigured piece in the New York Times alludes to the controversy and reacts nicely. Of Lessing's many works I've only read The Fifth Child, a disturbing little book which she mentions in the Times piece. I would recommend it. And while I don't know enough about her work as a whole to comment on its Nobel-worthiness, Bloom sure sounds like an ass.
