Doris Lessing: the Chloë Sevigny of Nobel Laureates

After winning the 2007 Nobel Prize for literature today, reporters asked Doris Lessing how she felt. Her response?

"Oh Christ...I couldn't care less."

That famous dry British wit! Congrats, Doris. We've yet to read one word of your feminist-fiction oeuvre, but...kudos. We guess.

Oh, I thought it was going to be something about blowing Vincent Gallo.

ha! that would be awesome. well, at least interesting to watch.

She is quite good, I would encourage anyone who likes to read to check her out.

Her work is great. Her response to the question re Nobel is even better.
