A review by laurenjoy
The Cleft by Doris Lessing

2.0

This was certainly not my favorite book. I started reading this one because of my goal to read through all of the books that have won the pulitzer prize or the nobel prize for literature. It was in a way very similar to the Navajo creation story, but done in a way that it seemed that men had always been born to be rash and irresponsible and women nagging and unreasonable. I would give commendation to the author for making a smooth flow and a somewhat novel reading experience, but the subject material was repetitive and left me often wanting to drop the book and never pick it up again.
