Cracking up --the late Doris Lessing on her latest book --
"Women are basically conservative, I don't mean every woman is, I mean a general trend. . . . I don't know why people get so upset. First, they get upset by words like 'cleft' or 'squirts'" . . .
In her last novel, she described a world inhabited by only women, whom she called Clefts, until men "a younger species"called Squirts, came along.
I found this so very amusing -- I wish she could have lived forever.
