From Publishers Weekly This fourth effort from British writer Winterson ( Sexing the Cherry ) is a high-concept erotic novelette, a Vox for the postmarital crowd. The narrator, a lifelong philanderer ("I used to think marriage was a plate-glass window just begging for a brick"), has fallen in love with Louise, a pre-Raphaelite beauty. Louise is unhappily married to a workaholic cancer researcher, so the narrator leads her into a sexually combative affair. This scenario seems obvious enough, but Winterson never reveals whether the narrator is male or female. Rather, she teases readers out of their expectations about women and men and romance: Louise calls the narrator "the most beautiful creature male or female that I have ever seen," and the narrator observes, "I thought difference was rated to be the largest part of sexual attraction but there are so many things about us that are the same." When the narrator breaks off the affair after learning that Louise has cancer--only her husband can cure her--the work turns into a eulogy for lost love. Winterson manipulates gender expertly here, but her real achievement is her manipulation of genre : the capacious first-person narration, now addressed to the reader, now to the lover, enfolds aphorisms, meditations on extracts from an anatomy textbook, and essayistic riffs on science, virtual reality and the art of fiction ("I don't want to reproduce, I want to create something entirely new"). "It's as if Louise never existed," the narrator observes, "like a character in a book. Did I invent her?" One wonders, as Winterson intends, and then wonders some more. For Louise--and the narrator's love for her--never seems quite real; in this cold-hearted novel love itself, however eloquently expressed, is finally nothing more than a product of the imagination. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Like Andre Breton's dizzying poem, "Ma Femme a la chevelure de feu de bois" ("my woman with her belly like the unfolding fan of days/... My woman with her swan's back buttocks"), the narrator of Winterson's ( Sexing the Cherry , LJ 2/15/90) new novel relentlessly celebrates the beauty of a beloved woman's body--but the trick here is that we do not know whether the narrator is a man or a woman. The story is minimal and not altogether original: a corrusive sensualist experiences many women but finally becomes obsessed with one, stealing her from her husband, only to discover that she has been guarding a terrible secret: she is threatened by a terminal illness. The fascination is the lush, plush language and the way two aspects of the physical--passion and bodily decay--are delicately interwoven. Not to everyone's taste, but serious readers and sensualists will enjoy. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 10/1/92.- Barbara Hoffert, "Library Journal"Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

路易斯恐怕是每个人心中最完美的恋爱对象。美丽、温柔、前拉斐尔时期的古典美人儿,还带着对爱情的执拗和一个算不上完美的浪漫主义的姑娘谈上了恋爱。虽然她们的爱情来得有那么些突兀,但是,这种突如其来的感情或许就是珍妮特在努力诠释的激情。 路易斯太完美,太合乎想象中...
評分1.温森特细致描绘出了爱情和欲望的种种形态,痛苦的、欢愉的、疯狂的、矛盾的。它的本质仍旧是一个爱情故事。结尾处的一笔,我想是“爱情幻灭之后还是有那么一点希望在。”令人动容。 爱情跨越性别。事实上你不用去追究这是否是一个同性恋的故事,你置身其中,就能够感受那种...
評分我不知道欲望也可以书写得如此优美。 要不是周嘉宁我也不会买这本书,幸运的是,书里的每一个字句都值得细细把玩,当然,作者和译者都有功劳。 看题目就知道,这是一本描写情欲的书。爱与性本是一体,不可能分开。假若有高出肉体的爱,也必定会在低处找到欲望的支撑。即使是精...
評分失去时,爱最浓 撰文|于是 珍妮特·温特森的书,你可以匆匆浏览一遍,跟上稀薄的情节走向,再挑一个容易动情的时机,让自己逐字逐句的咀嚼,这时候,翻到哪页并不那么重要。重点是,你读懂她融进文字里的情殇。 这是个怎样的女人呀,她的爱没有性别之分,只有身体本身被强调,...
評分我很少读爱情小说,大概我不懂爱情,或者那些关于爱情的文字并不能真正表达我的感受。所以我一直在寻找,我读了大部分萨拉.沃斯特的书,虽然情节精彩,但是只是八点档电视剧。也陆续读了珍妮特的书,从《守望灯塔》到《橘子不是唯一的水果》,他们有一些我熟悉的影子,却是只言...
