Pressestimmen
'Original and astonishing ! Brilliant persuasive and circumstantial in its imagination, so that each step towards barbarism seems completely necessary.' New Statesman 'For some years and books now [we] have been reading Doris Lessing to find out what's going on - what is happening to our society's nervous system and how it affects the way we live with each other ! She is one of those acute emotional intelligences whose stories provide keys to our personal dilemmas.' Guardian 'An extraordinary and compelling meditation about the enduring need for loyalty, love and responsibility in an unprecedented time.' Time

These "Memoirs" postulate a near future when society's framework and infrastructure are breaking down. Young people are forming gangs and moving out of the city, the trappings of civilization are no longer relevant, cannibalism is rumored. Priorities are back to food, shelter, and clothing. Personal safety and a bath cannot be taken for granted. The narrator is an older woman who lives on the ground floor of a large apartment building. A 12-year-old girl, Emily, is brought to her and she is told the girl is her responsibility. The woman does her best to protect Emily, who is growing up quickly, but the girl has a better grip on reality than her protector. Watching the action on the street from the windows, they see first the nomadic groups of young people moving through their area, then gangs forming from their own neighborhood and moving out. Emily falls in love with a young gang chieftain and joins his group, where she finds her responsibilities almost more than she can bear. Her abilities in the new order are great, but she often retreats to the older woman's apartment. As more people move out, life in the city changes. Gangs occupy and protect their territories, raise gardens and animals for food. And then a new kind of gang emerges - younger children who have no idea of organization, loyalty, or even much language. These feral children are vicious and cunning. The quandary is that they are "only children." Emily's chieftain tries to help them and comes to grief. There are many puzzling threads to the story which are never explained. Does the wall really open into another reality? Is the dog really a dog, or something more? I enjoyed that quality of ambiguity as an added dimension to the story. I recommend it highly.

There are several levels to this book, and many obscure threads which are woven together to make a very satisfying, yet provocative and obtuse novel of survival in times of chaos as society falls apart. Some of the mysteries which are present in the story ( who really is Emily, who and/or what is the dog, what is the alternate reality behind the wall, and what are all the charactors doing at the end when the iron egg crumbles) are woven into other novels by Lessing, such as the "Four Gated City." "Memoirs of a Survivor" is reported to be partly autobiographical.
A movie was made in England of "Memoirs" staring Julie Christi around 1985 which was shown briefly in Venice, California. I have not seen it referred to anywhere since.

This book is written in a brilliant English only recommended for people who have a good vocabulary, because it is very demanding, but not only in terms of the vocabulary. The topics spoken of in the book are very interesting and Lessing gets to suck you into this crazy world full of barbarian kids and a weird monstrous dog. She tells the story with a lot of passion and as you read it you get the feeling that she knows what she's talking about, as if she's lived there already herself; In this creepy world somewhen in the future...
