Back in 2007, when British writer Doris Lessing was told that she was the winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize in literature, her response was, “Oh Christ! … I couldn’t care less.”
In case you thought that Lessing wasn’t, ahem, grateful for the highest prize for literature, Lessing added:
“I’ve won all the prizes in Europe, every bloody one, so I’m delighted to win them all, the whole lot, OK?” Lessing said, making her way through the crowd. “It’s a royal flush.”
Quite the charmer, isn’t she?
Lessing recently told the BBC that winning the Nobel was a “bloody disaster.”
Listening to this sour fool talk, one would think the Nobel committee had given her gonorrhea.
So why is winning the Nobel a disaster?
Since her Nobel win she has been constantly in demand, she said.
“All I do is give interviews and spend time being photographed.”
Speaking about her writing, she said: “It has stopped, I don’t have any energy any more.
“This is why I keep telling anyone younger than me, don’t imagine you’ll have it forever.
“Use it while you’ve got it because it’ll go, it’s sliding away like water down a plughole.”
You know, like her manners.
Recall Lessing’s comments earlier this year on Barack Obama and the assumed American reaction to his pretense in the oval office: “He would probably not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would kill him,”
Well, that’s fur shure! Us ‘Mericans is jusa buncha racist rednecks who blast anyone who ain’t lilly fuckin’ white!
In October, she told a Spanish newspaper that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were “neither as terrible nor as extraordinary” as many people think.
Oh no. Not terrible nor extraordinary. Terrorists fly planes into skyscrapers every other month, so what’s the big deal?
Bitter, illogical and anti-American, this Doris Lessing. No wonder she won the Nobel.
