Prisons We Choose to Live Inside

by Doris Lessing

Overview

"One of the most important writers of the past hundred years." — The Times (London)

In this perceptive collection of essays, Doris Lessing addresses directly the prime questions before us all: how to think for ourselves, how to understand what we know, how to pick a path in a world deluged with opinions and information, and how to look at our society and ourselves with fresh eyes.
