Aldiss, Brian

001 is a letter from Brian Aldiss to Doris Lessing. He discusses Galaxies Like Grains of Sand (or, The Canopy of Time). “It’s a long while since I wrote it, yet somehow I seem to have been going on about the same subject, more of less, ever since.” Laments that The Good Terrorist did not win the Booker prize. Mentions Christine Donaldson and Paul Oldroyd.

002 is a draft review by Lessing of The Best S.F. Stories of Brian W. Aldiss.

005 is a cutting, photocopied, of Lessing’s review of The Best S.F. Stories of Brian W. Aldiss from The Daily Telegraph.

006 is a letter in which Lessing complains that the review in the Daily Telegraph was badly edited, “giving a clumsy, even stupid impression”.
