An Evening with Jeanette Winterson (Ideas at the House)


Listen Later

Jeanette Winterson OBE is one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. Across novels, screenplays, essays and journalism, Winterson has taken risks and challenged us to think differently about identity and relationships.At fifteen, Winterson's love affair with another woman was discovered. She was condemned by her church, leading to her expulsion from the community and her decision to leave home. She worked odd jobs, from an ice-cream van driver to a funeral parlour make-up artist, supporting herself as she obtained her B.A. in English from St. Catherine's College at Oxford. She would go on to write over twenty books, including the celebrated novels such as Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, The Passion and Sexing the Cherry, as well as the memoir Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?Watch as Winterson talks about her life, and what she's learned from it through decades of searching for love and meaning through fiction and poetry.
