Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. First Vintage International Edition, February 1996. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "One of the most audacious writers on either side of the Atlantic now gives us an arousing and wise improvisation on art, Eros, and identity. A train hurtles through the future with three passengers on board: a disillusioned surgeon named Handel whose humanity has been sacrificed to intellect; a woman artist named Picasso, cast out by a family that drove her to madness; and the lesbian poet Sappho, who has propagated her subversive gospel through centuries of censorship and exile. Out of their interwoven stories comes an impassioned, philosophical, and, above all, daring novel that burns with phosphorescent prose on every page." [publisher copy] "In her highly experimental fifth novel, Winterson abandons a linear plot in favor of a kaleidoscopic, polysemous study of ruptured lives and artistic pursuits. The story is full of philosophical musings on the intertextuality of art, the marginalization of female creativity and the ravages of modernity. It concerns three characters who converge on a train departing a dystopian, futuristic London: Handel, a brooding, defrocked priest and doctor; Picasso, an introspective painter who attempted suicide after being raped by her brother; and Sappho, a restless, ethereal incarnation of the Greek lyric poet. Each character is fleeing past traumas and present injustices; each undergoes a vague apotheosis by the novel's end. The story also involves the discovery of an ancient book whose passages, by writers throughout history, are interpolated into the text. Despite its poetic cadences and epigrammatic phrasings, Winterson's language often succumbs to bizarre imagery and bewildering narrative leaps (the final nine pages are from the score of Strauss's Rosenkavalier). This emphatically esoteric novel will reward those readers patient enough to thread together its patchwork of themes and ideas."--Publishers Weekly. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; quite presentable.…
