Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes I would like to thank Dr. Sarah Graham for suggesting this point when I gave a paper based on this material at a seminar at the University of Leicester, UK. Some of the points made about the palimpsest in relation to Doris Lessing's work draw from my article previously published in LIT. I have also discussed her science fiction work in my book, Doris Lessing.
