I wish I'd had something like this when I read the book the first time. It's intense, and I found it impossible to explain to anyone who hadn't read it already.

It's one of my all-time favourite books. Nice, thanks.

This would have been so much more helpful than the 'can you read this book and tell me what you think' approach I took, which then lead to a decade or so of my exclusively reading Dorris Lessing, and falling deeper into an abyss that I am happy to say I eventually recovered from.

Sorry, GallonOfAlan; there seems to have been a bit of link rot over the years, and there are occasional 404s throughout the text. (Unfortunately, the Wayback archive of the site only starts in 2013, by which time the rot had already taken hold.) The introduction picks up again on page eleven.
