That is what Doris Lessing is about -questions, not opinions. She began asking them as a girl growing up in the vast, empty landscape of Rhodesia. Her questions concerned racism, and the answers led her into radical leftism and membership in a Communist group "so pure it must have been blessed by Lenin in his grave." When she moved to England in 1949, at the beginning of her writing career, she was a party member for a few years...
