GROSSBRITANNIEN NOBELPREIS LITERATUR 2007
British writer Doris Lessing, winner of the 2007 Nobel Prize in literature, talks to members of the media, unseen, outside her home in north London, Thursday Oct. 11, 2007. Lessing, who turns 88 in just over a week, is the oldest person to be honored with the prestigious awards given by the Swedish Academy, said Horace Engdahl, the academy's permanent secretary. Lessing, author of dozens of works from short stories to science fiction, including the classic "The Golden Notebook," won the Nobel Prize for literature Thursday. She was praised by the judges for her "skepticism, fire and visionary power." (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
