Letter, 1 leaf, handwritten.

DL/REVIEWS//HICK/002 [from Doris Lessing to Alisdare Hickson, 04/02/1994]

Letter, 1 leaf, typed.
Writes that she doesn't think his book will "need much "puffing" because of everybody's fascination with this subject". Writes that she would still like to read it. Mentions his offer of money, writing that it "really does amount to a bribe". Discusses the opinion that if writers always took money for quotes, "there would be no value at all in what they said".
