Novelist Jeanette Winterson was born in Manchester, England in 1959. She was adopted and brought up in Accrington, Lancashire, in the north of England. Her strict Pentecostal Evangelist upbringing provides the background to her acclaimed first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, published in 1985. She graduated from St Catherine's College, Oxford, and moved to London where she worked as an assistant editor at Pandora Press.
One of the most original voices in British fiction to emerge during the 1980s, Winterson was named as one of the 20 "Best of Young British Writers" in a promotion run jointly between the literary magazine Granta and the Book Marketing Council.
She adapted Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit for BBC television in 1990 and also wrote "Great Moments in Aviation," a television screenplay directed by Beeban Kidron for BBC2 in 1994. She is editor of a series of new editions of novels by Virginia Woolf published in the UK by Vintage. She is a regular contributor of reviews and articles to many newspapers and journals and has a regular column published in The Guardian. Her radio drama includes the play Text Message, broadcast by BBC Radio in November 2001.
Winterson lives in Gloucestershire and London. Her work is published in 28 countries.

Witty, acute, fierce, and celebratory, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a tough-minded search for belonging, for love, identity, home, and a mother.
Jeanette Winterson's novels have established her as a major figure in world literature. She has written some of the most admired books of the past few decades, including her internationally bestselling first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, the story of a young girl adopted by Pentecostal parents that is now often required reading in contemporary fiction.
Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a memoir about a life's work to find happiness. It's a book full of stories: about a girl locked out of her home, sitting on the doorstep all night; about a religious zealot disguised as a mother who has two sets of false teeth and a revolver in the dresser, waiting for Armageddon; about growing up in an north England industrial town now changed beyond recognition; about the Universe as Cosmic Dustbin.
It is the story of how a painful past that Jeanette thought she'd written over and repainted rose to haunt her, sending her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her biological mother.
Witty, acute, fierce, and celebratory, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a tough-minded search for belonging, for love, identity, home, and a mother.

1 “可以正常的话，你为什么要快乐” 不久之前我看过一篇文章，大概意思是说，一个人至少要花十年、二十年的时间，离开他的原生家庭，这样他才能真正的独立。 真正的独立是什么？ 意味着你不受父母的掌控，意味着你可以去你想去的城市，结交自己喜欢的朋友，做自己想做的事，想...

人生從一場錯位開始，然後揭露，舔舐傷口，直到意識到不管你愛或者不愛我，生活就在哪裏。幸福和正常都是一種選擇。
评分雖然我很尊敬Winterson的經曆，但這書真寫得不好。without structure, without penetration, lazy language.

评分self-salvation, we wanna a way out, probably insane, but we are happy this way, safe and freedom and being wanted
评分寫作的人總不能自免地追溯自己的來處，從族譜開始，從地方誌開始，從圖書館的字母A開始，雖然殘忍但前半本真的好看，Accrington也成為她的文學地標，一個棄兒可以在文學史上找到所有的對照與象徵，賦予自身意義，隻有被鎖在門外颱階上的長久靜坐纔讓天上久遠清冷的星子份外真切，自己也是追尋歸途者之一，水流過無數遍故事版本重塑過無數遍，它經受各種變形，shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy，虛構撞擊現實。最後的最後，JW也終於坦誠，如果她未曾被遺棄被錯領，她會有另一個版本的自己——一個被愛的工人階級的孩子，一大傢子人，沒有人強迫你變成世俗模子也沒有機會接受教育，也就有可能不會有傷痛殘缺激發巨大的潛能與熱情，故事不再特彆，甚至沒有故事可說。
