Abstract
Doris Lessing is not unusual in having begun her career with short stories. She is unusual in having continued to write short stories for a long time after she established her reputation as a novelist. In fact, it comes as a surprise to realise that she has stopped writing short stories (at least for now?). Her last volume of new short stories appeared in 1972. (Later volumes have collected previously published short stories.) Nonetheless, her short story writing paralleled her novel writing, perhaps her very best novel writing, for a very long time. Sometimes they preceded and deeply affected her novel writing.
