When Doris Lessing won the Nobel Prize for Literature, reporters waited outside her home in North London to give her the news. She responded: "Oh Christ... I couldn't care less."
She is my favourite 88-year-old Nobel Laureate! As the second sentence of The Golden Notebook (1956) says:
“The point is,” said Anna, “as far as I can see, everything is cracking up.”’
