The Sweetest Dream Research Paper

Decent Essays
Unlike most book focusing on the 1960s and written on their side of the Atlantic. And especially on ours. The Sweetest Dream is not infused with nostalgia for that supposedly golden era of youthful idealism and personal liberation. Quite to the contrary. Lessing embarks on a highly critical, although not totally unsympathetic. Examination of the period and the type of people who seemed to set and reflect its tone most characteristically.

Unfortunately, there are sometimes citizens that do not look forward to that kind of lifestyle.…
