Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

Set on a train traveling through a dystopian future England, Winterson's latest novel is a patchwork meditation on identity and artistry.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Library Journal

Handel is a failed priest but abiding Catholic with elitist tendencies whose work as a doctor forces him to consider social questions that he would probably rather avoid. Picasso, as she calls herself, is a young artist who has been sexually abused by her brother but whose family thinks she is at fault for her dark moods. Sappho is, indeed, Sappho, the lesbian poet of ancient Greece, who here proclaims herself a sensualist and then proceeds to dissect "the union of language and lust." The three converge in a place that may be England in a not-too-distant future made ugly by pollution and even uglier by greed. This is not a novel but an extended rift on art, sex, religion, social repression, the dangers of patriarchy, and everything that is wrong with the contemporary drift to the right. As such, it will be hard going for most readers, but those with some patience will discover exceptionally evocative writing and a vivifying review of some much-discussed contemporary issues. Here, Winterson is even more unmoored than in her spectacular if discursive Written on the Body (LJ 2/15/93); what will she do next? For literary collections.?Barbara Hoffert, "Library Journal"

1.0étoiles sur 5 An unfortunate exercise in crepuscular obfuscation., Fév 5 2002
Par David J. Gannon (San Antonio, TX USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I really do like Jeanette Winterson and have read several of her novels, all of which have been very good. Books like Sexing the Cherry, Oranges are not the Only Fruit, Passion and Gut Symmetries were well written, insightful, truly unique and well constructed stories told in a bold, clear & decisive voice.

This book, however. is an unfortunate mess. I hate giving authors I truly like such a lousy rating, but in this case it's unavoidable.

One of the blurbs on the book cover speaks to a "writer writing about something terribly important", which may in fact be the case, if only one could figure out just what it is. It's really a shame as the concept is intriguing-the execution is the problem.

Winterson is a master of the use of language, usually leaving the reader painting vivid-though often very unsettling-mental pictures to accompany the text. Here however the text is so dense, the characterizations so obscure, the thought process so complex that one can-and often does-- read and reread a passage several time, still emerging with no real idea what is going on.

Everyone has a bad day now and then-and with this effort, Winterson has definitely had hers. This is truly an author worth reading but this effort should be skipped.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Read with highlighter in hand, Juil 18 2001
Par Ellen C. Falkenberry "ellenf" (Birmingham, AL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Thank you, Ms Winterson, for this beautiful journey. It is truly extraordinary when a writer reaches into my past and puts words to emotions I've never spoken aloud. Art & Lies, while intensely personal, is also oddly easy to share. I miss the characters, so I keep a highlighted copy on my desk and refer to it whenever I need to feel...anything. A treat for anyone who lives outside the lines.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Yawn..., Fév 7 2001
Par AuralWreath (Williamsburg, VA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Rather than attempt to develop a plot, after delivering the initial hooks of characterization, Winterson proceeds to muddle around in their depressingly disorganized perspectives of modern life. The characters' only hope, it seems, is somehow finding a way to express themselves in their dire conditions, all of which have something to do with sex. If there were some way of expressing how contrived the bleakness of the world and the situations they encounter, how flat and boring the characters are, and how "random" the thought and phrase juxtapositions are... Well. I would. Alas, the only real way to experience this psychobabble is to pick it up for yourself. If you're miserable and looking for company, or a college student who has to read this for class, :kaff: pick it up.
