Doris Lessing, the celebrated British author and Nobel laureate, is known for her piercing insights into human nature and her ability to portray complex characters navigating the pitfalls and pratfalls of life. From her early works to her later masterpieces, Lessing's literary legacy has left an indelible mark on the literary world.
Unveiling the Pratfalls of Humanity
Lessing's works delve deep into the intricacies of the human condition, often exploring the darker aspects of our existence.

Another remarkable work by Lessing, The Grass Is Singing, unveils the pitfalls of racial tensions and colonialism. Set in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), the novel tells the story of a troubled marriage in a racially divided society. Lessing fearlessly explores the consequences of prejudice, exposing the destructive outcomes that arise from such societal pitfalls.
Rediscovering the Depth of Lessing's Exploration
While Lessing is renowned for her novels, her short stories deserve equal praise. In To Room Nineteen, Lessing crafts a haunting tale of a seemingly perfect marriage gradually unraveling. Through vivid details and engrossing characters, she masterfully showcases the pitfalls of complacency and the dangers of societal expectations.
The collection of short stories in African Stories provides a unique window into the complexities of African society. With rich descriptions and evocative storytelling, Lessing captures the pratfalls of post-colonial Africa, shedding light on both the ordinary lives and extraordinary struggles of its people.

“The way it was and I saw it; the way it is as I see it.”
Like many, Dorothy Hart’s life is full of ups and downs, pitfalls and pratfalls. But all those hardships and mishaps only turned her into a strong and opinionated woman. In Of Pitfalls and Pratfalls, we follow Dorothy’s journey through her sometimes discomforting but often enlightening and amusing personal anecdotes.
Dorothy and her twin brother, David, grew up in Stirling and Glasgow, Scotland, in the early 1940s. In 1952, her family immigrated to Canada, moving first to Toronto, then to the countryside near Whitby, Ontario. At a young age, Dorothy excelled in art, painting many artworks, some of which she sold. She was part of many clubs and enjoyed sports, such as curling and archery.
During her first marriage, Dorothy enrolled in nursing school. She worked at a number of care facilities, including Whitby Psychiatric Hospital, and several long-term care homes. Dorothy saw first-hand how the services (and ethics) of these health care facilities declined over the years due to greed and negligence. Because of this, Dorothy opened her own senior care home, which she ran for several years until her second husband took her dream away. But then she turned to teaching!
Of Pitfalls and Pratfalls shows us that even though life can be challenging, if we work hard, support each other, have confidence in our unique abilities, and learn to laugh at our mistakes, just maybe we can make it to the other side stronger and happier.
