The Gap of Time by Jeanette Winterson

lenamarie_wind's review against another edition

2.0

Irgendwas zwischen zwei und drei ⭐️
Leider nicht so gut, wie erwartet.
Mit dem Vorwissen über the Winter's Tale gab es leider überhaupt keine Spannung und dann wollte ich es eigentlich einfach nur schnell fertig lesen, damit ich was neues anfangen kann
Keiner der Charaktere ging mir wirklich nah

chirson's review against another edition

Mam wrażenie, że Winterson nie wyczerpała potencjału tego retellingu. Mogła tu dać i wyciągnąć dużo więcej. Jest sporo humoru, sporo pięknego języka (któremu tłumaczka niestety nie podołała moim zdaniem - było dobrych parę momentów, gdy dosłownie przełożone frazy zgrzytały okropnie). Ale nie ma dokopania się do kości tej historii. Nie jestem przekonana, że motyw gry komputerowej cokolwiek do fabuły wniósł. Momentami figurom bliżej było do stereotypów niż alegorii.

Ale kilka momentów było tak ogromnie poetyckich i tak pięknych.

Niemniej jednak: to nie to. I chyba jednak trzeba się pogodzić z tym, że Winterson tylko po angielsku.

Winterson has never been scared of simplicity, and I admire this about her writing, but parts of this are merely simplistic.

what the fuck is up with this book. it’s so fucking weird and ig the author loves to be misogynistic even though she’s A WHITE OLD WOMAN. i cannot AND THE ANTI SEMITISM. i want to burn this book and never let it see the light of day ever again. giving it two stars since apparently she’s gay.
