Aquatic predators and their prey
You read a Jeanette Winterson story and immediately grasp its every word, its every angst, its every quirk. At one point you sympathize with a character or see yourself suddenly living in her magically-woven world. You taste intimacy in her prose. You get spellbound by the vividness of her wild imaginings'whether it's about wanting a dog you will not adopt, a man and a woman on a cruise, a world where sleep is prohibited, an island king who wears a crown made of coal, or a pet tortoise named Psalms that drowns in the sea.
You don't know how you've managed to interpret her language; you just do.
You can understand her forever, but cannot translate her to others.
***
My thoughts on this book?
Humorous. Insightful. Eccentric. In that order.
Three words I can't even rationalize. But if you love Jeanette Winterson like I do, then perhaps you'll understand why.
