It’s been a gift that you’ve been able to Substack as much as you have. Good luck with the fiction piece!

I love this.

I love what you have said, how you have put it.

Good luck.

I met Doris Lessing when I was a teenager.

A few times at Christmas parties.

She often seemed to sit alone.

To be somewhere else.

Since then that memory of her has been what I think of as the quintessential author.
