Andermahr (English, U. of Northampton) and her 10 co-contributors offer a critical introduction to British novelist Jeanette Winterson. The winner of numerous literary awards, Winterson has had
a tumultuous relationship with her critics since her first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit was published in the 1980s. The collection of essays offers insights into the writer's style,
her novels and their characters, her adaptations for stage and screen, and the writer as a lesbian and outspoken public figure. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
