"Doris Lessing was out shopping for groceries when the Nobel Prize
announcement came. Arriving home to a gathering of reporters, she
exclaimed, "Oh Christ! "I've won all the prizes in Europe, every bloody one, so I'm delighted to win them all. It's a royal flush."She titled her Nobel Lecture On Not Winning the Nobel Prize
and used it to draw attention to global inequality of opportunity and
to explore changing attitudes to storytelling and literature. The
lecture was later published in a limited edition to raise money for
children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. Her final book, Alfred & Emily appeared in 2008.
