Doris Lessing Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: October 22, 1919 - November 17, 2013
Birthday: October 22
Death: November 17
The current publishing scene is extremely good for the big, popular books. They sell them brilliantly, market them and all that. It is not good for the little books. And really valuable books have been allowed to go out of print. In the old days, the publishers knew that these difficult books, the books that appeal only to a minority, were very productive in the long run. Because they're probably the books that will be read in the next generation.
