genuinely bizarre, wonderful and weird. at times felt very lost, but i found the explorations of time and memory moving and expansive. i loved the constant look at past, present and future being mere constructs in which we navigate and exist in between. i loved the images of the cities we build, and the way multitudes are all around us. being my first read by jeanette winterson, the boldness and pride it takes in it's strangeness was exciting, and the late 80s feminism felt clear. touches on the illusiveness of history and meaning making, and the disgust and confusion of man. reading some interviews with her recently, it's fascinating reflecting on the way herself and her views exist within her work over time.
