CrimethInk, 2001 thought provoking i read this book about a year ago and my life has seriously changed because of my reading it...just as the book suggests in the beginning...i did not buy into everything that was put out in the book...some of the stuff in this book is pretty out there imo...i for one ...             Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit Jeanette Winterson Grove Press, 1997 Meaningful novel I suppose one mistake that people make about this book is that it is meant to expose the evils of christianity. That may be true, but I don't think that it was the author intended. It seems to be more of a moral dilemma of humanity's inhumanity towards man. Or rather ...             The Passion Jeanette Winterson Grove Press, 1997 Trust me I'm telling you stories A mate of mine and I catch up every three months over a coffee and invariably the topic of our conversation drifts to our favourite films and books. A few years ago he recommended this book to me as his favourite book of all time - lofty praise and he tends to have ...             Lighthousekeeping Jeanette Winterson Harvest Books, 2006 Storytelling as Story Jeanette Winterson never ceases to speak to the very core of me. Lighthousekeeping is a novel that reminds me of her first, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, but completely unique in its own way. Lighthousekeeping follows the story of orphan Silver as she moves from ...             Written on the Body Jeanette Winterson Vintage, 1994 Now written on my soul... This book left me breathless - not metaphorically, but actually literally. I found myself cold, hot, shivering, and consumed by its power and its glory. I read about love and lust in ways I could not have imagined. I felt uplifted and weighed down by their weight and ...             Weight: The Myth of Atlas and Heracles (Myths, The) Jeanette Winterson Canongate U.S., 2006 Fantastic Language, But Sometimes Difficult Jeanette Winterson retells the ancient story of Atlas and Heracles. Atlas, punished by the gods, is forced to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. Heracles, needing Atlas' help to complete one of his labors, offers to hold the world until Atlas has ...             The Stone Gods Jeanette Winterson Harcourt, 2008 Winterson returns! This is the best book I've read from Winterson in quite a while. It's much more science-fiction than her other works. Think of an Asimov plot with Winterson's style and language. And queer characters. The middle sections threw me off at first, but it comes together at ...             Nightwood Djuna Barnes New Directions, 2006 Homosexuality is not really the focus -- but it's there Barnes' Magnum opus, "Nightwood" (1936), was her second novel and one of those books that probably 'must' be read, the same as "Winesburg, Ohio" (Sherwood Anderson), or "The Great Gatsby", (F. Scott Fitzgerald). Poet Donald J. Greiner once wrote, "[It]...stands out ...             Tanglewreck Jeanette Winterson Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2007 Courtesy of Teens Read Too Time is not behaving itself. Trains stall in time, then rush ahead as if to catch up, pyramids appear in London, a school bus gets sucked into a Time Tornado and vanishes, and there have been woolly mammoth sightings in the park. Most people can't make any sense of ...             Sexing the Cherry (Winterson, Jeanette) Jeanette Winterson Grove Press, 1998 A truly fantastic read This book is a wonderful mixture of fantasy, history, and philosophy. Winterson encorporates beautiful analogies in her poetic style of writing. This tall-tale of sorts is an enjoyable read and remains one of my favorite novels.             The King of Capri Jeanette Winterson, Jane Ray Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2003 great poet, but conventional on philosophical/social issues 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 ...             Art & Lies Jeanette Winterson Vintage, 1996 ......................................... Art and Lies is in my humble opinion the best work of fiction (or is it?) I have ever read. It's dense, profoundly intertextual, and at times absolutely poetic. Please don't be fooled by Publius' obviously misguided review (for example, the comparison between ...             The PowerBook Jeanette Winterson Vintage, 2001 After repeated readings... Winterson's "The PowerBook" gets better and better. Potentially one of her more esoteric and theoretical works, "PowerBook" details the virtual experiences of Ali/x and her reader (you). I'll confess that I found it a bit overwhelming at first read, but nonetheless ...             Gut Symmetries Jeanette Winterson Vintage, 1998 Gut Symmetries This book changed my view on what great literature can be. Previously I thought plot drove the reader to keep going - reading this I was driven forward by the beauty of the words that Winterson uses, sometimes not understanding, or paying attention to the action, often ...             The Powerbook Jeanette Winterson Vintage, 2001 Impressive. Surprised no other reviews I am surprised that there have been no (none!) reviews of this beautifully written fascinating book. Perhaps reason is that it somehow got classified as science fiction which it certainly is not. It is almost an extended poem on love with various expressions of it ...          products you might be interested in search for books crimethink, lighthousekeeping, nightwood, symmetries, tanglewreck, winterson      toavi.com    web we recommend Trust me I'm telling you stories randomly chosen book: Metafiction and Metahistory in Contemporary Women's Writing
