Book Description
This study compares the influences of traditional Sufi teachings and the writings of Idries Shah on Lessing’s fiction from her “Sufi period” (1969- 1983).
The novels, including the multi- volume Canopus in Argos series, are examined and interpreted in psychoanalytic and symbolic terms, Lessing’s borrowings from classic science- fiction and early feminism are documented.
The study concludes that Lessing, as a Western writer who lost faith in communism, feminism and social progress, adopted Shah’s ideas as a way out of her own psychological and spiritual dilemma.
Seen in this context, Lessing’s later novels appear to be more influenced by the parables and fables of Shah than by authentic Sufi practices and teachings.
