As almost everyone has been noting in the last hour or so, Doris Lessing has won this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. This despite having written unworthy rubbish set in outer space.  Good for her.

I now wait to see whether the literary pages of the world's dead tree journals decide to completely ignore, mention but dismiss as an irrelevance or fairly and accurately assess Ms Lessing's SF canon.  I will be placing none of my filthy lucre on the last possibility.
