Doris Lessing wins 2007 Nobel Literature Prize

Britain's Doris Lessing won the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature. Lessing is the author of the famous book "The Golden Notebook" and dozens of other literary work. The 87-year old Lessing was praised by the Swedish Academy for her "skepticism, fire and visionary power." On previous occasions, she had won the James Tait Black Memorial Book Prize and the W.H. Smith Literary Award.

Doris's selection for Nobel Prize came as a surprise to all and literary critics came down heavily on the Nobel juries for awarding the Nobel Prize to someone who has not been able to prove anything in the literary field in the past 15 years.
