Powerful thoughts from author Jeanette Winterson.

 

Jeanette Winterson, 2014.  A quote from her introduction to ‘Sexing The Cherry”, published by Penguin Random House.

 

“At my saddest and most depressed I wrote a children’s story called the Lion, The Unicorn and Me.

Me is the Donkey I am the Donkey. I gave myself a golden nose.

Nobody assumed that little book to be an autobiography, but it is.

So the whole thing is nuts.  Raving mad. Bonkers.

Be where you want to be in time.

Be who you want to be in time.

Readers have hundreds of avatars. Be Hamlet today.  Arthur kipps tomorrow.

Stop worrying about what is ‘real ‘and find out what is relevant.

Reading is freedom, not a set of rules”
