A review by marilou
Prisons We Choose to Live Inside by Doris Lessing

informative reflective fast-paced

1.5

Lacks rigor, i.e. let me just use a study that was done in [insert vaguest description of a town] a few years ago. This would never fly today. There is no way to know what studies she’s referring  to through the book. 

Lessing’s obsession with Muslim fondamentalism, while never addressing Christian fondamentalism, also leaves an aftertaste of islamophobia.
