O još jednom kod nas nedovoljno predstavljenom Nobelovcu: slučaj Doris Lesing

Abstract

Although highly appreciated by both readers and critics in her country and abroad, Doris Lessing was not sufficiently received in the Serbo-Croat territory before winning the 2007 Nobel prize. The few critical responses and translations prior to that were published in Croatia, with the exception of an article written by Biljana Dojčinović for the Belgrade literary magazine Književna kritika. The first Serbian translation – Fifth Child – did not appear until 2004, and it is only after she received the Nobel prize that the reception of this acclaimed British writer can be estimated as fully adequate, in the manner and to the extent which her works rightly deserve.
