This Tuesday the VHS-Freiburg Abitur group will be doing Lessings Second Hut and the news of her demise comes a shock. She gave a voice to Africa and now shes no longer with us. She described her childhood as an uneven mix of pleasure and much pain. She dropped out of school and left home at the age 15 and worked as a nursemaid and later as a telephone operator. She was writing stories at this time already, two of which she sold to magazines in South Africa. Lessings fiction is very autobiographical and she uses her childhood memories of Rhodesia, the clash of cultures and the racial inequality she experienced in her writing. Her fiction deals also with the struggle between the opposing elements in a persons own personality.May her soul rest in peace..
