Winner of the Whitbread Prize for best first fiction, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a coming-out novel from Winterson, the acclaimed author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. The narrator, Jeanette, cuts her teeth on the knowledge that she is one of God’s elect, but as this budding evangelical comes of age, and comes to terms with her preference for her own sex, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household crumbles.
Jeanette Winterson's semi-autobiographical novel is one of the most beautifully written story of a middle-class girl struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, creativity, passion vs. her family/society's inflexible "formed opinions". The story of the persecution of a girl because of her sexual preference (in this case, lesbianism) is not new. It's how Ms. Winterson presents her story. Fresh. Alive. Witty. Funny. Heartbreaking at times. Imaginative. Almost like you were holding a piece of someone's soul in your hands rather than merely a book. I noticed that one reviewer mentioned that the book's sexual nature is vulgar. I do not find this so. Even if it is, so what? Life is vulgar. Only those fond of sweeping the dirt under the carpet so that it stays out of sight (or those who drive lesbian girls from their house/church and pretend they don't exist) will disagree with the innate vulgarity of all life. This book is the antidote for that kind of sanitized thinking. This book exposes that sanitized Christian middle-class thinking is weird, almost alien when observed sanely by a third party standing on the outside. This book celebrates life. Read it.

第一次读Jeanette的原版,感觉比译本能看明白……这段eccentric的过往倒头来只落实了两句:Time is a great deadener; people forget, get bored, grow old, go away. 以及那句 God will forgive and forget. (Personally)全篇最值得玩味的地方莫过于母亲指责J的同性恋行为是女性身份试图做男性的事情,这flout God's law,而J非常清楚If there's such a thing as spiritual adultery, my mother was a whore.
评分英文文笔写的真...thoughtful。中文翻译的差好多。小女孩的视角从一开始的天真无邪、非白即黑、充满小孩子的黑色幽默,到后来逐渐意识到自己与其他小朋友不一样、自己无法被大多数人接受、世界没有那么简单、尝到被最亲最爱的人背叛的滋味,到最后被赶出家门、自己生活。喜欢那段关于历史和遗忘的讨论。穿插着神神奇奇的童话故事,很有意思,不过感觉有点啰嗦和出戏。
评分从小熟读圣经 到底下笔就很有韵律感
评分poetic novel
评分语言极见作者功底。
《橘子不是唯一的水果》是珍妮特·温特森的处女作。但在她的第一本小说中,我们可以看到她后来小说中的两个极其鲜明的特征:抒情风格的雄辩和诗意。 下面这段文字,出自于这本书的第五章《申命记:最后的律法》,是这种风格最集中最明显的体现。 时间能抹煞一切。人们遗忘,厌...
评分在《鲤•上瘾》里看到了关于珍妮特•温特森的介绍,于是开始了略显漫长等待,等待一本叫做《橘子不是唯一的水果》。 很诡异的名字呢,即使在读过了一边小说之后的我,到现在也没有完完全全理解题目的深意。既然说,珍妮特对于取名...
评分在写作《橘子不是唯一的水果》时,作家珍妮特•温特森说,“我试图解释自己从何而来,我试图把一段怪异的童年、一种非同寻常的个人历史讲明白,我也试图去宽恕。”这本基于作者个人回忆的半自传体小说,无疑是这段怪异人生的最佳注脚。多年后,成年的温特森从记忆深处打捞起...
