Letter, 2 leaves, typed.
Writes that he is sorry to hear from Jonathan Clowes that Lessing was unhappy with her interview with Andro Linklater. Writes that two of the mistakes occurred "because of slopping sub-editing" and other issues, such as Andro writing that Lessing didn't achieve success until The Golden Notebook, was because "Andro's emphasis was wrong".

DL/A-Z//TEL M/002 [from Doris Lessing to Nigel Horne, 10/03/1992]

Letter, 1 leaf, typed.
Writes of the "fruitless battle with inaccurate interviewers".
