Book Description
The second volume of Doris Lessing's extraordinary autobiography covers the years 1949-62,
from her arrival in war-weary London with her son, Peter, and the manuscript for her first
novel, The Grass is Singing, under her arm to the publication of her most famous work of
fiction, The Golden Notebook. She describes how communism dominated the intellectual life
of the 1950s and how she, like nearly all communists, became disillusioned with extreme and
rhetorical politics and left communism behind. Evoking the bohemian days of a young writer
and single mother, Lessing speaks openly about her writing process, her friends and lovers,
her involvement in the theater, and her political activities. Walking in the Shade is an
invaluable social history as well as Doris Lessing's Sentimental Education.
