—— The Times
' Read it and marvel. Jeanette Winterson's voice is startlingly original, and her imaginative feats are utterly dazzling'
—— Cosmopolitan
The Hopi, an Indian tribe, have a language as sophisticated as ours, but no tense for past, present and future. The division does not exist. What does this say about time?
Matter, that thing the most solid and the well-known, which you are holding in your hands and which makes up your body, is now known to be mostly empty space. Empty space and points light. What does this say about the reality of the world?
Sexing the Cherry celebrates the power of the imagination as it playfully juggles with our perception of history and rality; love and sex; lies and truths; and twelve dancing princesses who lived happily ever after, but not with their husbands.
' Simple prose shows the subtlest of minds behind it, switt, confident and dazzling'
—— Financial Times
' Winterson juggles past and present, fantasy and reality, to produce an original and rntertaining novel which invites us to re-examine our own perceptions of time'
—— Sunday Times
' Her stories and character levitate off the page into dancing life... A bold, bizarre and timely book'
—— Independent
经细心豆瓣读友提示,此篇译后记中出现了一个错误陈述,即“2007年,……她发现生母其实早已去世。于是母爱对于温特森,成了一个永远无法解码的迷思。”一段中出现的关于温特森生母已去世的信息属于译者臆断,根据《南方周末》2011年的采访资料,温特森生母尚在世,并与温特森...

评分照道理,对我来说,这应该是一本读起来很难的书。 因为几乎没有什么逻辑可言。可是读的时候,被作者带着穿梭于各个时空没有任何不适感。 她笔下的世界,就是一张揉皱的地图。你随时可能出现在任何点上。 她说生活的形态可以瞬间转变,于是想起了KK的“涌现”一词。你看,大道想...
评分【1】“米兰昆德拉的哲学构架+卡尔维诺的优雅叙事+《天方夜谭》的故事” 这是腰封上的标语,看完这本书之后,觉得这个评语总结得挺好,大致能够沾上它们的边。 【2】看到一半的时候,终于点题了,因为嫁接植物,要给樱桃以性别,是雌性的。 【3】快看完的时候才发现,...
hilarious re-creation of history, with a touch of sentimentalism
评分前面十二个公主的故事很好看,怎么后面就混乱了,大概是因为拆分的缘故,剥皮的香蕉,剥皮的切开的香蕉,菠萝,切开的菠萝,可惜主题跟水果没啥大关系=。=
评分暂归女性主义的一剂良药,驱散乌云
评分看这本书是个神奇的旅程,它发生在独自来去三里屯的地铁上和宿舍停电的下午,很短又像是发生了很多事。好喜欢作为章节标识的零星插图菠萝香蕉和十二公主。故事从荒谬变得象征性变得温暖又黄暴又天真像童话又像寓言后来又像某个狗血爱情的片段让人忍不住挖掘这些奇诡背后的意义。可爱!
评分猎奇,冶艳,关于女性,爱,毁灭与重生,线性与轮回,夹杂着英式冷幽默。
