This week’s highlights

Posted by: on Nov 4, 2011 | No Comments

This week I was mainly gawping in awe at the genius of Jeanette Winterson, author of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit (hence the image – a tenuous link I know, but it cheered up a grey October day). I read Winterson at Uni and remember it being one of the curriculum texts that I actually – gasp – enjoyed. So I was curious to read this article from her in the Guardian, which reflects on her development as a writer, and a person. I particularly like her point that as we grow we need to develop some aspects of ourselves and leave others behind, or we “end up being the wrong size for our world”.
