	Jeanette Winterson - MSN Encarta
		Jeanette Winterson, born in 1959, British novelist, best known for the experimental and sometimes controversial ways in which her fiction explores such issues as gender roles and sexual orientation.
		Winterson was born in Manchester, England, and adopted by religious parents who prepared her to become a preacher.
		Winterson's first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985), was mainly autobiographical, chronicling the struggles of a young lesbian girl against a domineering mother and the strictures of conditioning for evangelical service.

	Jeanette Winterson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jeanette Winterson (born August 27, 1959) is a British novelist.
		Born in Accrington, near Manchester, Winterson was educated at St Catherine's College, Oxford.
		Winterson's first novel was Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, written about her childhood (although she does not refer to it as wholly autobiographical), being raised by evangelical parents in the north of England.

	Jeanette Winterson's "Written on the Body"
		Winterson will also be seen to employ a variety of specialist languages drawn from such discourses as those of the Bible, travelogues and anatomy, as well as employing such divergent narrative modes as dramatic dialogue and epistolary fiction, to overcome the over-worn status of romance fiction.
		Winterson's negotiation between the unavoidable use of cliché and the breakthrough into a new language of love reflects an ambiguity lying at the center of the phenomenon of love itself.
		Winterson uses these variations on an anatomical theme to give poetic expression to the underlying duality of love and of the language of love that is the obsessive theme of this narration.

	Scriptorium - Jeanette Winterson
		When Jeanette Winterson was asked (so the story goes) by a British newspaper questionnaire distributed among the nation's writers, whom she considered to be the greatest living prose stylist in English, her answer was unequivocal: Jeanette Winterson.
		It is too easy to label, and Winterson (in essay and in fiction) resists the confines implied in the rubber stamps of "feminist", "lesbian" and "postmodern," in spite of the persistence with which pundits apply them.
		Born in 1959, adopted and raised in the small English town of Accrington by Pentecostal Evangelists, Winterson's maturation was constituted by an intense struggle between conflicting conceptions of sexuality, divinity, and literature.

	Jeanette Winterson - AOL Books
		It's hard to believe that Winterson's latest novel is even more lightweight than her previous one, The PowerBook, but here an orphan's romantic memories of growing up in a Scottish lighthouse are stretched to the limit with coy aphorisms.
		Winterson attempts several stories within stories, switching narrators frequently, and relies heavily on the metaphor of storytelling as elucidation.
		Jeanette Winterson's subsequent novels explore the boundaries of physicality and the imagination, gender polarities, and sexual identities, and have won several literary awards.

		Jeanette is the voice of a generation crying out for independence and the need to be true to our hearts; she is the hidden voice of all of us.

		Jeanette's fables are established to be as valid as the complex religious practices of her family.

		Winterson explained to Salon.com, “What we know about art is that it cuts through [barriers], and it doesn't matter whether you are an old guy or a spinster or a punk, it should be able to speak to you, you know, regardless of the experience.”
		This was not acceptable to Winterson, so she shot back at the public's appetite for knowledge of what went on in her bedroom.
		Winterson knows that her adventure in groceries will not threaten the supermarkets, nor will it “change the eating habits of Britain,” but as with her writing, she is doing something that she loves and believes in.

		Physics seems to have become the new language of love in the 1990s, and Jeanette Winterson is not the first writer to make a major character a physicist.
		A typically sharp-tongued and ambiguous Winterson character, the narrator conducts affairs with a husband and wife simultaneously (the husband, in fact, is a lecturer on time travel) but remains irksome and dull in the numerous platidinous observations that litter the page.
		Jeanette Winterson's masterful use of tropes and contextualization of unfamiliar terminology draw the reader into a web of magical reality where new voices demand your attention.

		Winterson possesses an ability to dazzle the reader by creating wondrous worlds in which the usual laws of plausibility are suspended.
		"Jeanette Winterson is not known for being an "easy read." In fact, she's one of our most complicated, confounding writers, the kind of old-fashioned fiction magician who can leave one wondering how she got from A to Z without once mentioning the intermediate letters of the alphabet." -

		Jeanette Winterson's The Passion mixes the cosmic and the carnal into a Napoleonic era, surrealistic romance.
		Winterson's diction is sparse and dense, such as when Henri describes Napoleon, "But he had furs to keep his blood optimistic." Her text is moody and emotional.
		Too often Winterson tyrannically told me what to think, spouting her life philosophy, instead of respecting me and her narrative enough to allow my own conclusions.
