Written on the Body Im reading Written on the body. OK, that list was way too long! I've deleted it. If anyone wants the alphabetized list, tell me and I'll send it to you.
... tale book I liked... Oh, right! Kissing the Witch! That was brilliant.
(To keep on topic:) I've just recently finished Written on the Body. I love Jeanette Winterson. She's a close second for my favourite author (after Sarah Waters). ... I found that one interesting, as it was the only one I've read of hers that was set in the past. My favourite one is Written on the Body which has a narrator where you never know what gender they are. Written on the Body is excellent, as is Gut Symmetries. I also love her short stories. ... the other two books of Winterson's that I own though (Lighthousekeeping, which I bought because I love the title, and Written on the Body). But I probably won't get to them this year . . . Just in the last twenty years? Liquidation Imre Kertész. Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. The Savage Detectives by Bolaño. I could go on...
... Case by Garth Nix, a novella set six months after the completion of the Sabriel Trilogy (involving Nicholas Sayre) and Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. That was another glorious Winterson read: passionate, poignant, lyrical, gut wrenching.
Now I'm half way through Falling M ... ... somehow makes me a failure as a female Canadian, I've been told.
23) What is your favorite novel?
I used to say Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson, but this quiz is making me consider changing it to the Crystal Singer series or the Dragonsinger series by Anne McCaffrey. Re ... --> 73
I have three of Winterson's books. They are Sexing the Cherry, Written on the Body, and Lighthousekeeping. You'd think I'd have time to read at least one!
I was actually thinking of reading Written on the Body for the Prop2gether in 75 Books Challenge for 2009 : Prop2gether's 2009 List (Mar 4, 2009, 2:57pm) Okay, and numbers 78 through 80:
Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson
Whales on Stilts by M.T. Anderson
My Teacher Flunked the Planet by Bruce Coville
Written on the Body is another of Winterson's novels on the 1001 Must Read list. I had some issues getting past the first 30 ... Spacepotatoes - I Love Written on the Body, it would be one of my desert island books. I think very few authors manage to write about deep feelings in a way that hits you almost physically - pain being famously impossible to empathise - but Winterson seems to have such mastery of language that ... Some really interesting titles you've read so far! I'm also a fan of Jeannette Winterson, Written on the Body is one of my favourite books. I first read it after a particularly painful break-up and it was the perfect outlet for grieving the loss of that relationship. The only other one I've read ... Yes!
Anyone for Written on the Body by Jeannette Winterson? ... New York. I quite agree. Sarah Caudwell's character reveals the nature of gender construction. Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body is a similar sort of experiment. But . . . seeing as how Caudwell writes mysteries, we cannot be blamed for doing a little sleuthing on the side. By ... ...

Hideous K ... After your recommendation on my thread I'm going to recommend Written on the body which is my favourite Winterson. I've not read The Stone Gods, so can't comment, but I liked The Penelopiad. It isn't The Handmaid's Tale and doesn't try to be - I take the distancing to be an element of the ... ... Martin

Blindness
by Jose Saramago
... I read a few less-than-complimentary reviews of this book, but I enjoyed it. I guess a sub-par Winterson book (It's no written on the body) is better than a lot of other good books. Winterson again explores storytelling motifs, as with The Passion upthread. My only complaint is that I ... ... Barbara Kingsolver

What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt
The Queen of the Tambour ... I like Jeannette Winterson too but I find her uneven. Loved Written on the Body and Oranges are not the only Fruit and was bored to tears by some of her others. I like A.S. Byatt a lot, and Iris Murdoch, Ian McEwan, Julian Barnes, and Kazuo Ishiguro. ... times already)

Sputnik Sweetheart and Dance Dance Dance, by Haruki Murakami
Wormwood and Lost Souls, by Poppy Z. Brite ... ... whatever the hell you want to call it, start with The Passion. If that will be a stumbling block for you, go directly to Written on the Body or Lighthousekeeping. She's definitely not got a strictly hetero-based outlook, but it's not militantly otherwise, either.
I think Written on the Body is orientation ambiguous and one of her more popular works. If orientation is an issue, you'd probably want to avoid The Passion, which I think is the other ... In white ink by Mimi Khalvati
Written on the body by Jeanette Winterson
Handwriting : poems by Michael Ondaatje
The story of my typewriter by Paul Auster
Pourquoi je n'ai écrit aucun de mes livres by Marcel Benabou (a book about not writing, so perhaps it ... ... a big gan of most self-conscious (meta) fiction, so I've never really warmed to Jeanette Winterson, but I did admire Written on the Body. I also enjoyed Monique Wittig back in the day and Audre Lorde. Nightwood is probably my favorite 'lesbian' novel. Orlando would also be ... ... which other ones I actually read and didn't like, to be honest. There were three or four, but the only ones I remember are Written on the Body (because everyone but me loved it) and Sexing the Cherry (because my mother found it in my adolescent bookstack and threw a fit!).
Now, the funny ... I'm also reading Written on the Body. And Alan Warner's Morvern Callar. I love Written on the Body as well, and it made my partner and I huge Jeanette Winterson fans. Recently finished her Lighthousekeeping Re: shorter novels
Written on the Body is an excellent example of shorter fiction. For style (though it's not the most artfully written book), I used Tom Perotta's Election as a guide. ... models and/or inspiration. Two in particular that I've enjoyed reading/revisiting are Identity by Milan Kundera and Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. Has anyone else been reading shorter novels, and if so, do you have any recommendations? ... number.
I think you liked Julie and Julia more than I did, but I'm not sorry I read it. I love Winterson. I'd had Written on the Body lying about for ages waiting to be read, and, when I did, I practically kicked myself for waiting so long! I read The Passion now because I'm hoping ... I just started re-reading Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. It's absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend it!
