Oct. 11 - British novelist Doris Lessing reacted with the words 'Oh Christ!' when told by a Reuters correspondent that she'd won the 2007 Nobel Prize for literature. Lessing gave her reaction as she returned to her home in London soon after the award was announced. According to her agent she missed the actual announcement as she had been out shopping.

"A certain professor must have died!" Candid. She's the architypal clipped vowel, upper-middle class grandmother- she has that strained manner of being polite that says 'I'm dealing with you as etiquette demands but I'd really rather you took your fan fair else where you silly lot.' Ladies like Dorris make me proud to be English.

A writer at a loss of words? Maybe she had writer's block that day?
