...Planet 8, about an eco-catastrophe on a distant world. In August Lessing published a new novel, The Cleft, in which she re-imagines the history of the human race - originally, she proposes, humanity consisted entirely of women, all the trouble having begun when women inexplicably began giving birth to male babies.
