Autorenporträt
Winterson, Jeanette
Jeanette Winterson is a novelist whose honours include the Whitbread award and the American Academy's E.M. Forster Award. With her debut in the early eighties, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, she soon won the praise of such masters as Gore Vidal ("the most interesting young writer I've read in twenty years"). Her first children's book was a picture book, The King of Capri. Tanglewreck is her first novel for younger readers.

Jeanette Winterson's first novel for children, Tanglewreck, was widely admired. She is at her most inventive, lyrical, imaginative and brilliant in The Battle of the Sun published by Bloomsbury in November 2009 and in paperback in June 2010.

Jeanette won the Whitbread for her first book, Oranges are Not the Only Fruit. She lives in Oxfordshire and travels extensively lecturing about her work.
Rezensionen
'If you want true literary genius, read Jeanette Winterson's young-adult novels, a stunning new facet of her career which began with Tanglewreck. They're too clever for me to summarise' Guardian
