当代最好也是最有争议性的作家之一。

1978年,温特森与一个女孩相爱,离家出走。她在殡仪馆、精神病院等地留宿打工,但仍以全A的成绩考进牛津大学英语系。
1985年,处女作《橘子不是唯一的水果》出版,荣获惠特布莱德首作奖。由她亲自改编的同名BBC剧集也大获好评,获得各项国际大奖。

Winner of the Whitbread Prize for best first fiction, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a coming-out novel from Winterson, the acclaimed author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. The narrator, Jeanette, cuts her teeth on the knowledge that she is one of God’s elect, but as this budding evangelical comes of age, and comes to terms with her preference for her own sex, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household crumbles.
Jeanette Winterson's semi-autobiographical novel is one of the most beautifully written story of a middle-class girl struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, creativity, passion vs. her family/society's inflexible "formed opinions". The story of the persecution of a girl because of her sexual preference (in this case, lesbianism) is not new. It's how Ms. Winterson presents her story. Fresh. Alive. Witty. Funny. Heartbreaking at times. Imaginative. Almost like you were holding a piece of someone's soul in your hands rather than merely a book. I noticed that one reviewer mentioned that the book's sexual nature is vulgar. I do not find this so. Even if it is, so what? Life is vulgar. Only those fond of sweeping the dirt under the carpet so that it stays out of sight (or those who drive lesbian girls from their house/church and pretend they don't exist) will disagree with the innate vulgarity of all life. This book is the antidote for that kind of sanitized thinking. This book exposes that sanitized Christian middle-class thinking is weird, almost alien when observed sanely by a third party standing on the outside. This book celebrates life. Read it.
有人觉得这本书离她很远,故事发生在英伦乡间的五旬节教派信徒之家,而我觉得这故事离我的工作很近,贯注了对宗教、家庭、爱情观和性别政治的切身感触,读来轻松,反思不失时机,激情不失分寸,幽默有冷有热,从文学创作的语言上来讲复调的节奏充满灵气,写作的手法妙趣横生。 ...
评分拿到夏天热午送来的《橘子不是唯一的水果》时,我以为除了小说的读法,它还可以取个名字《剥橘记——英伦乡间五月旬节教派兴衰史》,按照类似《屠猫记——法国文化史钩沉》、《百变小红帽——一则童话三百年的演变》或一点列维-斯特劳斯《忧郁的热带》的读法也未尝不可,但隔壁...
评分 评分《橘子不是唯一的水果》用第一人称的手法描写了生长在五旬福音教派家庭中的女主人公詹尼特在成长过程中对自我同性倾向的认同,拒绝被边缘化的“他者”身份,为追寻自我和真爱最后走上了与家庭、教会决裂的道路。温特森在小说中大胆地运用各种后现代主义叙事技巧,融圣经故事、...
评分《橘子不是唯一的水果》是珍妮特·温特森的处女作。但在她的第一本小说中,我们可以看到她后来小说中的两个极其鲜明的特征:抒情风格的雄辩和诗意。 下面这段文字,出自于这本书的第五章《申命记:最后的律法》,是这种风格最集中最明显的体现。 时间能抹煞一切。人们遗忘,厌...
Oh Jeanette, may you forever remain as you are.
评分poetic novel
评分作為lesbian writing的啟蒙 滿懷興趣讀到覺得很悶
评分从小熟读圣经 到底下笔就很有韵律感
评分英文文笔写的真...thoughtful。中文翻译的差好多。小女孩的视角从一开始的天真无邪、非白即黑、充满小孩子的黑色幽默,到后来逐渐意识到自己与其他小朋友不一样、自己无法被大多数人接受、世界没有那么简单、尝到被最亲最爱的人背叛的滋味,到最后被赶出家门、自己生活。喜欢那段关于历史和遗忘的讨论。穿插着神神奇奇的童话故事,很有意思,不过感觉有点啰嗦和出戏。
