The PowerBook

当代最好也是最有争议性的作家之一。1959年，生于英格兰的曼彻斯特。自小由笃信宗教的夫妇收养。当时家中有六本书，其中《亚瑟王之死》激发了温特森对书本和写作的渴望。1978年，温特森开始恋爱，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。温特森自此一跃成为英国文坛最耀眼的作家。英国BBC电视台的“女性时间”曾与橘子文学奖合作，推出一项“女性分水岭小说”提名票选活动，温特森有三本小说入选，是入选频率最高的当代作家。代表作品有：《橘子不是唯一的水果》《激情》《给樱桃以性别》《写在身体上》《艺术与谎言》《苹果笔记本》《守望灯塔》等。2006年，温特森以其杰出的文学成就被授予英帝国勋章（OBE）。

To avoid discovery I stay on the run. To discover things for myself, I stay on the run. "The PowerBook" is twenty-first century fiction that uses past, present and future as shifting dimensions of a multiple reality. The story is simple. An e-writer called Ali or Alix will write to order anything you like, provided that you are prepared to enter the story as yourself and take the risk of leaving it as someone else. You can be the hero of your own life. You can have freedom just for one night. But there is a price. Ali discovers that she too will have to pay it. Death can take the body but not the heart. Set in London, Paris, Capri and Cyberspace, this is a book that reinvents itself as it travels. Using cover-versions, fairy tales, contemporary myths and popular culture, "The PowerBook" works at the intersection between the real and the imagined. Its territory is you.

读后感

很久没有读温特森的文字了。《橘子不是唯一的水果》看了很多遍，之后的两本书收藏着，仅有个开头，故意错过不读，其实是勇气不够。就像张悦然说的，每次看温特森都是一场被挟持的旅程。她极大的拓宽了你的想象空间，让你的感官都调动起来，许多象征手法和比喻堪称绝妙。她的文...  

这本书买自卓越。我买的所有珍妮特温特森的书都是因为姜妹妹。好想咆哮道：我的口味变重了！ 为什么要这么说呢，因为在经历过《柑子不是…》和《写在身体上》的精神和身体的双重折磨后，已经对看懂她的书不抱希望了的废柴我，又忍不住手贱，看了简介又觉得还不错就买下了《苹果...

'Noah must have felt like this.' 'Soaked?' 'Free.' 橘子不是唯一水果的升级版，成年版。平庸生活中迸发的激情是虚空中的神迹，整本书宛如一封抵死缠绵的情书。结尾泰晤士河上的亮光让我想到杜甫的诗句：不贪夜识金银气。当然意思是反着来的。
