' A book of innocence and bawdiness, fury and joy... needs to be read and re-read'

—— 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

读后感

如果温特森足够老，她的《十二位跳舞公主的故事》将被卡特收录进《精怪故事集》。可是具有火红色头发的温特森，一位被称激情的代言人，居然在《给樱桃以性别》里隐掉了橘子时的跳跃，写在身体上时的揪心狂热，分娩出一只形状完全不同，甚至有些冷飒飒的小家伙，它此次擅长的不...  

珍妮特·温特森善于玩文字游戏，打破小说叙事规则，这是出了名的。 在读《给樱桃以性别》时，索性不把它当成小说。抛去故事情节，忘记去寻找主线。将那些散落在童话故事、圣经、神话、传说、历史和艺术名作中的只言片语收集起来，拼凑出在自己心中的模样。 读温特...  

用户评价

诡异而有力量的文字，残酷却美丽。完全看不下去的开头却因为出差时间一口气读完了，还好没错过，着眼宏大却落笔微小。

三天打鱼两天晒网读了两个月..水平不够读得稍微有点吃力。一种极不稳定的书写。叙述的主体和口吻一直在变，在时空之间来回跳动，界限完全失灵。这就是我最喜欢的那一类文字，轻盈通透得毫不费力。不同的是，作者的个人经历赋予她的文字一种“中性的魔力”，让她拥有敏感、细腻的特质的同时，又始终蕴含着日月星辰的辽阔广大与瞬息变化。The weightless city, the canopy of words, Fortunata with her lover, the delirious dance. 个体，及个体的爱情，在宇宙中不是主宰，不显得渺小，反而带给人闪电般颤栗的惊异。Pure time, pure love. 荒凉现实中生生不息的微光。非常接近于萨特所说的“奇遇感”。
