Ever since Barack Obama announced he was running for President, I've had this odd hopeful feeling that the past six demented years have only been a temporary aberration, and that soon the real 21st Century would begin.
After all, practically every science fiction film that doesn't have a woman as President to show it's the near future has an African American President. So with either Barack or Hillary, we'll be showing strong signs of having finally arrived in the future.
And now: Doris Lessing has won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Tell me this isn't shaping up to be a century we can be glad we lived in it.
