JEANETTE WINTERSON: VINTAGE LIVING TEXT

In Vintage Living Texts, students, teachers, and general readers will find essential guides to some of the most exciting works in contemporary literature. Each guide focuses on three or four works by a major novelist; the series is unique in that it offers exclusive in–depth interviews with the authors relating specifically to the texts under discussion. Readers are introduced to the writers’ themes, genres, and narrative techniques, and a close reading of the guides provides a rich source of ideas for intelligent and inventive ways of approaching the novels. Each of these outstanding books is complete with detailed reading plans for the novels, questions for essays and discussion, contextual material, suggested texts for complementary and comparative readings, extracts from reviews, and a biography, bibliography, and glossary of literary terms.
