Written on the Body from Vintage Books USA Price: $9.60 Customer Review:  Assigned this book in a Recent British Literature course, I can't tell you how disappointed I was that I had to wait all the way until the *end* of the semester to read it. I was so eager, I had to finally learn patience just to wait three weeks before we discussed it. This has to be one of (I... |

The Passion from Grove Press Price: $9.60 Customer Review: "Perhaps all romance is like that; not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour." -Jeanette Winterson Henri, a poor country boy joins the French... |

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit from Grove Press Price: $9.60 Customer Review:  I read this book when I was first coming out as a lesbian. The humor drew me in from the first page, where the main character finds hilariously understated ways of describing her mother's black-and-white view of the world. The caricatured characters as viewed through the discerning and somewhat... |

Art Objects: Essays on Ecstasy and Effrontery from Vintage Books USA Price: $10.40 Customer Review:  This collection of essays on art and literature is wonderfully thought-provoking. Winterson's collection is a call for greater attention to art that makes a person think, that gives a person insight into a new level of reality - be it another culture or simply an alternative view of your own... |

Art & Lies: A Piece for Three Voices and a Bawd (Vintage International) from Vintage Books USA Price: $10.40 Customer Review:  "There's no such thing as autobiography, there's only art and lies." -Jeanette Winterson A train goes careening down the tracks, carrying several passengers with catchy names: Handel, Picasso, and Sapho. Another surfaces, Ms. Doll Snodpiece, who also has a train connection to these three. These... |

The PowerBook from Vintage Books USA Price: $10.40 Customer Review: I adore Winterson's style, which always is magical, moving, and marvelous. Here, in "The PowerBook", she has created a book that contains a doomed love affair, potent observations about time and space, autobiographical snapshots, and vivid imagery. It's as if the narrator {sometimes called Ali, and... |

The World and Other Places: Stories from Vintage Books USA Price: $9.60 Customer Review: Jeanette Winterson is acclaimed as the foremost lesbian writer today. Don't let this title fool you. I'm not a lesbian or gay, and I still appreciate the fine writing I found in The World and Other Places. This book is introduced as a collection of stories. While there are some sort narratives, many... |

Gut Symmetries from Vintage Price: $9.60 Customer Review: Winterson's writing is so powerful that when I read her books,I have a pencil and a pad of yellow "stick-ums" at my side, so I canmark particularly moving or powerful passages. My copy of Gut Symmetries is now full of yellow tags. Winterson is one of the few writers I know who can repeatedly... |

The King of Capri from Bloomsbury USA Children's Books Price: $11.87 Customer Review: Jeanette Winterson is one of my top few favorite writers--I love her passion, her romance, her poetry, her magical sense of life. In many ways she's a genius. She's a literary virtuoso. But on political and social issues, she is quite conventional, spreading the same anti-capitalistic,... |

Sexing the Cherry from Grove Press Price: $9.60 Customer Review: One of the first things that struck me about this book is how it was so similar to Virginia Woolf's 'Orlando'. Both books are based on the premise that time is flexible, rather than a linear progression, and both combine fantastical elements with historical fiction. They even both use the Thames as... |

Boating for beginners (A Methuen paperback) from Methuen Customer Review: i loved this tale of an alternate possible truth to the noah story. i love anachranism, anyway, so this flood of it (ha ha!!) was right up my alley. i found myself telling others about it over and over, although i couldn't really do it justice. in fact, i'm on amazon right now buying it for a... |

Erotica: Women's writing from Sappho to Margaret Atwood from Fawcett Columbine Price: $20.00 Customer Review: As a heterosexual but experimental woman, I hoped to find in "Erotica" sexual writing for a variety of tastes. However, what I actually found was an overwhelming tendency toward lesbian eroticism. Regardless, the writing was interesting, erotic, and broad-based, though the modern writers emphasized... |

Passion Fruit: Romantic Fiction With a Twist (Pandora Press Fiction) from Rivers Oram Press Price: $7.95 Customer Review: though I appreciate much of Winterson's novel-length work, I was wary in beginning this colection of short fiction edited by her. It started off with several interesting and pleasant to read stories, but as a whole, offered somewhat insipid, uninsightful writing. Perhaps this because I was expecting... |
