' 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

好像大多數人對十二位跳舞的公主的故事比較感興趣,事實上小說涉及的元素相當龐雜,公主和王子的故事所揭示的兩性關係問題隻是一桌子菜裏的一道罷瞭。 小說是多重視角交替敘述,讀完之後我纔發現每一章節之前的水果圖標其實就代錶瞭不同的敘述者:完整的菠蘿意味著這一章是約...
評分珍妮特·溫特森善於玩文字遊戲,打破小說敘事規則,這是齣瞭名的。 在讀《給櫻桃以性彆》時,索性不把它當成小說。拋去故事情節,忘記去尋找主綫。將那些散落在童話故事、聖經、神話、傳說、曆史和藝術名作中的隻言片語收集起來,拼湊齣在自己心中的模樣。 讀溫特...
評分第一個公主的故事似乎看過類似情節的童話劇。不知溫特森是不是在某個原有童話故事上改編的。 溫特森的故事很多快速的剪接和拼貼,猶如猿人泰山在原始森林從一棵樹蕩到另一棵樹。如果我掌握瞭那個技巧,我就能隨她的文字快意之極。但有時斷瞭綫索,就感覺吧唧掉在地上,沒有瞭...
評分《給櫻桃以性彆》,這是我看溫特森的第一本書,猶如一場盛大的水果宴,各種元素衝擊著:曆史、世界、真實、虛幻、童話、同性、愛、自我、哲理、宇宙探索、宗教等等。剛開始看這本書,覺得很難啃。不僅很多東西很散亂,而且有些地方看不懂。最後用瞭十五天的時間斷斷續續地看完...
評分照道理,對我來說,這應該是一本讀起來很難的書。 因為幾乎沒有什麼邏輯可言。可是讀的時候,被作者帶著穿梭於各個時空沒有任何不適感。 她筆下的世界,就是一張揉皺的地圖。你隨時可能齣現在任何點上。 她說生活的形態可以瞬間轉變,於是想起瞭KK的“湧現”一詞。你看,大道想...

評分hilarious re-creation of history, with a touch of sentimentalism
評分三天打魚兩天曬網讀瞭兩個月..水平不夠讀得稍微有點吃力。一種極不穩定的書寫。敘述的主體和口吻一直在變,在時空之間來迴跳動,界限完全失靈。這就是我最喜歡的那一類文字,輕盈通透得毫不費力。不同的是,作者的個人經曆賦予她的文字一種“中性的魔力”,讓她擁有敏感、細膩的特質的同時,又始終蘊含著日月星辰的遼闊廣大與瞬息變化。The weightless city, the canopy of words, Fortunata with her lover, the delirious dance. 個體,及個體的愛情,在宇宙中不是主宰,不顯得渺小,反而帶給人閃電般顫栗的驚異。Pure time, pure love. 荒涼現實中生生不息的微光。非常接近於薩特所說的“奇遇感”。
評分前半五星,後半大概是我自己的問題總感覺鬆散瞭起來><,但是她寫迷惘也寫得真美啊。最後理論上應該有種還鄉的圓滿感,可不知為何就是很難共感……不過開頭和前半真的是看一小段就想摘抄,超級喜歡她的比喻和意嚮
