Dr. Paul Schlueter has had a 45 year friendship and collaboration with 2007 Nobel Prize winning author, Doris Lessing. Schlueter, author of many books, including The Novels of Doris Lessing, wrote the first doctoral dissertation on Lessing and holds the distinction of being the only person to share a copyright with Lessing for the book he introduced and edited, Lessing’s A Small Personal Voice: Essays, Reviews and Interviews.
Dr. Schlueter, well known to many at Lehigh, offers this “personal memoir” as a reflection on a literary friendship that began in 1964 and as an event in the celebration of Women’s History Month. The talk will be accompanied by pictures from Dr. Schlueter’s private collection.
