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 评分在写作《橘子不是唯一的水果》时,作家珍妮特•温特森说,“我试图解释自己从何而来,我试图把一段怪异的童年、一种非同寻常的个人历史讲明白,我也试图去宽恕。”这本基于作者个人回忆的半自传体小说,无疑是这段怪异人生的最佳注脚。多年后,成年的温特森从记忆深处打捞起...
Oh Jeanette, may you forever remain as you are.
评分千万别看翻译,一定要读原文!
评分作為lesbian writing的啟蒙 滿懷興趣讀到覺得很悶
评分语言极见作者功底。
评分二刷完毕,上一次读是六年之前,好像只花了一个下午,情节忘光光,JW后来的回忆录里说有人(她生母)向她指出,她养母其实也是一个拉拉,JW从来没想到过,其实还真有可能,相册里惊鸿一瞥又失踪的女士照片是蛛丝马迹,带着这个发现去阅读还真是况味复杂,怀疑JW其实有恋母情结
