Burgess 99. p.86. NYPL Books of the Century p.130. Callil and Toibin 52. "Anna Wulf is a writer who keeps four notebooks each a different color each reflecting a different part of her. The black one contains recollections of her youthful wartime years in West Africa . . . In the red one she reflects on her later life in Londons leftist and intellectual circles. The blue notebook analyzes her fraught relations with men. The yellow contains her fragmentary attempts at new fiction. With the fifth the golden notebook and with The Golden Notebook Wulf/Lessing struggles to tie all the threads fearlessly back together again. All the currents of her time flow through AnnaMarx and Freud and the burgeoning dissatisfactions among women that would eventually explode into feminism. Lessings earnestness can be too much at times but as a portrait of a woman coming to grips with the realities of her time her book is indispensable." Time 100 N. B.

From my experience Lessing didn't like to sign copies of her works and signed copies of this her most noteworthy work are Scarce. The persona I knew tended to be hardheaded diffident and a bit crusty though she made the rounds on behalf of her publisher a few years before her death when I was fortunately able and very pleased to speak with her briefly and to obtain her signature.
