Sexing The Cherry
Jeanette WintersonFrom the New York Times–bestselling author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Sexing The Cherry is “a mixture of The Arabian Nights touched by the philosophical form of Milan Kundera and told with the grace of Italo Calvino” (San Francisco Chronicle)
“Those who care for fiction that is both idiosyncratic and beautiful will want to read anything [Winterson] writes.” - The Washington Post Book World
In a fantastic world that is and is not seventeenth-century England, a baby is found floating in the Thames. The child, Jordan, is rescued by Dog Woman and grows up to travel the globe like Gulliver - though he finds that the most curious oddities come from his own mind. The spiralling tale leads the reader from discussions on the nature of time to Jordan’s fascination with journeys concealed within other journeys, all with a dizzying speed that jumps from epiphany to shimmering epiphany.
"Like Scheherazade, Ms Winterson possesses an ability to dazzle the reader by creating wondrous worlds in which the usual laws of plausibility are suspended. She possesses the ability to combine the biting satire of Swift with the ethereal magic of Garcia Marquez, the ability to reinvent old myths even as she creates new ones of her own." - Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Book Review
Sexing The Cherry celebrates the power of the imagination as it playfully juggles with our perceptions of history and reality; love and sex; lies and truths; and the twelve dancing princesses who lived happily ever after, but not with their husbands.
