Autobiography - Chapter 13

Summary/Abstract: Fragment from "I, under My Skin", the autobiography of Doris Lessing. This, the first volume of Doris Lessing's autobiography, begins with her childhood in Africa and ends on her arrival in London in 1949 with the typescript of her first novel, The Grass Is Singing, in her suitcase. Though she does not describe the process directly, it is abundantly evident to the reader how her childhood and adolescent experiences were absorbed through those "skins too few" and how they made the personality that has produced the novels and stories which began with The Grass is Singing and ended (for the moment) with The Fifth Child. Under My Skin shows - among many other things - how completely the life and work of one of the great writers of the twentieth century are of a single and indestructible piece.
