NOTE: Shelved in Room Z. Doris Lessing published two works this work and THE DIARY OF A GOOD NEIGHBOUR 1983 under the pseudonym Jane Somers in order to highlight the publishing industry's bias in favor of authors who had already achieved significant financial success. As she expected the works published pseudonymously sold far fewer copies and met with significantly less critical acclaim than the works published under her own name. 1391290.
