Doris Lessing
NEW YORK TIMES: Doris Lessing, the Persian-born, Rhodesian-raised and London-residing novelist whose deeply autobiographical writing has swept across continents and reflects her deep feminist engagement with the major social and political issues, won the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature today.
Announcing the award in Stockholm, the Swedish Academy described her as “that epicist of the female experience, who with skepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilization to scrutiny.” The award comes with a 10 million Swedish crown honorarium, about $1.6 million.
Ms. Lessing, who turns 88 later this month, never finished high school and largely educated herself through her voracious reading. She had been born to British parents in what is now Iran, was raised in colonial Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and now lives in London. She has written dozens of books of fiction, as well as plays, non-fiction and an autobiography. She is the 11th woman to win a Nobel Prize in literature>>>

Sorry
by Colonel Hemayat (not verified) on Sat Oct 13, 2007 12:31 AM PDTNOT killing the Religious traitors was one of the mistakes Shah made, sorry! We underestimated them, but why the leftist supported these religious figures? Just so that they would have a piece too?
I am an ex-army officer, ground forces, anti espionage division, and because of my experience I got to serve with SAWAK a few years as well.
Jealous rats
by Colonel2 (not verified) on Fri Oct 12, 2007 01:06 PM PDTIf you were high enough you ordered killings and if you were lower you turned them in to be killed. How come you didn't kill the likes of Rafsanjani or Khomeini himself when you had the chance? they didn't scare you enough? You don't differentiate between literature and politics and torture. So what difference does it make what you say. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Anyway, have fun remembering yourself as a proud member of Savak. It's like someone being a proud member of KKK.
Rats?
by Colonel Hemayat (not verified) on Fri Oct 12, 2007 12:55 PM PDTDear Sir Colonel2
Although, a proud member of the SAWAK, I killed no one, but if I could turn back time, I would kill them ALL, leftist were traitors and rats for mother Russia, and you are so wrong, THEY handed the country on a sliver platter to PAPA Khomeini. Once again, I proudly piss on Jazani, Gohsorkhi, Daneshian,and specially Kianoory and Tabari grave, sorry if I've missed any one!!
Iranian Rat
by Colonel2 (not verified) on Fri Oct 12, 2007 08:23 AM PDTColonel you killed them before they get a chance to reject the ideology. You and rats like you killed them and handed the country to Khomeini. Now you want to piss on their graves. Great job!
Iranian Leftists
by Colonel Hemayat (not verified) on Fri Oct 12, 2007 08:16 AM PDTDear Sir:
Iranian leftis like Ghohsorkhi, Jazani, Daneshian and ,etc. Did nothing for Iran, and given the chance they would sell their souls to Mother Russia! They were traitors to Iran, they are responsible for the current regime and I piss on their graves proudly.
I am not familiar with Ms.Lessing but like any person with a brain she has rejected the ideology of Communism, too bad our leftists had no brain and no love for Iran, and did not live to see that their ideology went down the toilet with USSR!!
What is she singing? چی چی داره میخونه؟

She is an amazing writer
by Niki Tehranchi on Thu Oct 11, 2007 12:15 PM PDTand I have enjoyed her novels The Fifth Child and Ben in the World the best. When you pick up a book by Doris Lessing, you know you won't be able to put it down.
Related to Iran?
by Mehdi (not verified) on Thu Oct 11, 2007 12:14 PM PDTWhat does this story have to do with Iran and Iranians? She was born in Iran - I say big deal people.
Note to Colonel Sanders, or is it Hemayat?, whatever
by Colonel2 (not verified) on Thu Oct 11, 2007 09:54 AM PDTNote to Colonel Sanders, or is it Hemayat?, whatever. "Lessing, a member of the British Communist Party in the 1950s who later rejected leftist ideology, had been active in campaigning against nuclear weapons." She was a leftist like those whom you goozidi on their graves. Are you going to gooz on a Nobel Literature Prize winner too?!

Isn't Bakhtaran part of Iran?!
"... in what is now Iran",
by Hamid (not verified) on Thu Oct 11, 2007 08:42 AM PDT"... in what is now Iran", should be "...in what is now Bakhtaran, Iran." Associated Press has it this way.
