Marjan: âThe story is about a couple. They bought a big house and have a lot of babies. Itâs specifically about their fifth child. I donât want to have children. Iâm not good with them and donât know what do do with them. My Mom lives in Iran and really wants grandchildren. She already made some baby things. When I see my friends and their kids, I just really donât see myself having that life. Maybe itâs selfish, but I have a lot of ideas and projects that I prefer to dedicate my life to.â @marjanfarsad #TheFifthChild #DorisLessing / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork đœ (at Lorimer Street)
I often think about this quote from Doris Lessing, and how her actions may have been received in the 1940s (when she left her husband and children), and how they may be received now.
LIBRERĂA Doris Lessing Canta la hierba
LEER EN: https://memoriasdelcafe.blogspot.com/2025/05/doris-lessing.html
RESEĂA EN EL CAFĂ La violencia en el corazĂłn del silencio.
Con Canta la hierba, Doris Lessing debuta con una novela incisiva que descompone los mecanismos Ăntimos y sociales del colonialismo en Ăfrica. Ambientada en la Rodesia del Sur de mediados del siglo XX, narra la historia de Mary Turner, una mujer blanca que, tras un matrimonio sin amor, se ve atrapada en una granja aislada, rodeada de un paisaje hostil y una estructura racial asfixiante.
Desde las primeras pĂĄginas, con la noticia del asesinato de Mary a manos de su criado negro, Moses, la novela se lanza como una autopsia moral. No solo del crimen, sino de todo un orden colonial basado en la represiĂłn, el miedo y el silencio. Mary, con su desprecio por los negros y su miedo al deseo que le provoca uno de ellos, encarna una contradicciĂłn feroz: vĂctima y verdugo de un sistema que la enloquece.
Lessing escribe con una prosa sobria y despiadada. La naturaleza africana, mĂĄs que decorado, actĂșa como fuerza opresiva y simbĂłlica: un recordatorio constante de lo que no puede ser dominado. La violencia no es solo fĂsica, sino psĂquica y estructural. La tragedia no es un accidente, sino una consecuencia inevitable del sistema colonial.
Publicada en 1950, la novela fue considerada transgresora por abordar, aunque con sutileza, las tensiones raciales y sexuales que el discurso colonial preferĂa ignorar. Hoy se mantiene como una obra esencial, lĂșcida y perturbadora.
En el crujido seco de la hierba que canta, Lessing nos recuerda que todo imperio se desmorona primero en la conciencia de quienes fingen no escuchar.
