Doris Lessing's African Stories - 06

Long considered Doris Lessing’s best collection of short stories, African Stories is an homage to her twenty-five years spent in Africa. In this anthology, she explores the complexities, the agonies and joys, and the textures of life in Rhodesia. First published in 1965, the book contains much of the Nobel Prize winner’s most extraordinary work. In this class, we will read the longer stories/novellas “A Home for the Highland Cattle” and “The Antheap.” Please obtain the required reading and read “The Story of Two Dogs” for the first class.

Required reading: Lessing, Doris. African Stories. Simon & Schuster, 2014.
