Doris Lessing passed away. http://www.mutanteggplant.com/vitro-nasu/2013/11/17/doris-lessing-r-i-p-2013/ The sad news came from Hanif Kureishi on FB.. we waited for the official news.. and finally Guardian reported her passing. I was lucky to attend her lecture at Berkeley. She was my teacher. I learned so much from her. Fung LIn Hall
