BEN PHILLIPS’s Reviews > The Sweetest Dream > Status Update

One of the glories of literature is that you can reach 59 and only just discover someone of the ilk of Doris Lessing. The Sweetest Dream considers the crassness of ideologies bound to fail because humans (almost always men) cannot stick to the script. Ego, weakness, selfishness, etc. Enter selfless women to the fray, trying to sort out the v real mess the stinky adolescent boys have left in their wake.
