Jeanette Winterson OBE was born in Manchester. Adopted by Pentecostal parents she was raised to be a missionary. This did and didn’t work out.
Discovering early the power of books she left home at 16 to live in a Mini and get on with her education. After graduating from Oxford University she worked for a while in the theatre and published her first novel at 25. Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit is based on her own upbringing but using herself as a fictional character. She scripted the novel into a BAFTA-winning BBC drama. 27 years later she re-visited that material in the bestselling memoir Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? She has written 10 novels for adults, as well as children’s books, non-fiction and screenplays. She writes regularly for the Guardian. She lives in the Cotswolds in a wood and in Spitalfields, London.
How do we love? With romance. With work. Through heartbreak. Throughout a lifetime. As a means, but not an end. Love in all its forms has been an abiding theme of Jeanette Winterson’s writing. Here are selections from her books about that impossible, essential force, stories and truths that search for the mythical creature we call Love.

vintage Mini系列相当有价值的一本,除了经典选段,JW专门写了从头至尾的导读,算是对自己创作脉络的梳理。做再多阅读理解,都不如作者自己站出来说啊。
评分Winterson属于那种极度坦率、浪漫至死的人。

评分对JW有些改观,感觉Sexing the cherry有点安吉拉·卡特的意思,但总体看来她的作品还是适合light reading,之后可能会偶尔找一两本来读读
