'Written on the Body.' is a secret code only visible in certain lights; the accumulations of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled up away from prying eyes.Never unfold too much,tell the whole story.I didn't know that Louise would have reading hands.She has translated me into her own book.'
'Written on the Body.' is a book for the human condition,a book which recognises love as our most significant achievement. Generous in scope,sumptuous in detail,this is a story told by a vulnerable and subversive Lothario,gender undeclared. Jeanette Winterson has fused mathematical exactness with poetic intensity and made language new.
