Veteran author Doris Lessing says that receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature last year has turned out to be a “bloody disaster”. The 88-year-old writer claims that increased media pressure means she will probably have to give up writing for good.
“It has stopped,” she explained sadly. “I don’t have any energy any more.”
“All I do is give interviews and spend time being photographed,” she added.
However, famous-for-being-famous celebrities Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty were quick to offer their support.
“Welcome to our world, wossyername, Doris yeah?” said occasional singer-songwriter Winehouse. “Our agents worked out a deal for us where we just bum around filling the papers wivout actually doing no hard work no more, apart from rememberin’ to stay upright, well mostly, while the cameras are rollin’. ‘Seasy innit? Fancy a night out wiv us at Annabel’s? Come on, get yer togs on, we’ll just ring the tabloids an’ let ‘em know we’re comin’.”
