Jeanette Winterson with Jeremy Isaacs, 1994, part 1 

‘i have very little time for realism- if you want that you can get it on the streets’

This author has really shaped my life

So wise, so intelligent

This interview is brilliant

I profoundly admire Jeanette

Everyone was obsessed with oranges when I was in boarding school in the uk around the time of this interview.

Thanks for posting.

having read oranges and why be happy when you could be normal I feel like she was making it sound like oranges is less autobiographical than it is. most things did seem to have actually happened somehow, though not quite the same way as in oranges

She saw her job as being to make the chaos of lesbian sex coherent.

This is so hot 🙏🏻
