From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Doris Lessing, a short story about a young woman’s attempts to juggle her political beliefs with everyday life.
On the day that the newspapers report that Stalin is dying, a young woman, with communist sympathies, attempts to look after her aunt and cousin on a disastrous trip to a photographer.
Lightly satirical about the absurd ways people can behave, no matter what their political views, `The Day Stalin Died’ shows Doris Lessing at her most wry.
This story also appears in the collection To Room Nineteen.
