Beschreibung
An invitation to change our lives and imagine the world anew through reading stories, in the new book from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. I can change the story because I am the story. 'Makes you think and makes you laugh' Nigella. With her execution looming, a woman is fighting for her life. Every night she tells a story. Every morning, she lives one more day. One Aladdin Two Lamps. cracks open the legendary story of One Thousand and One Nights. to show how its questions are still relevant to our lives today. Is love the most important thing in the world. What makes us happy. In her guise as Aladdin, Jeanette Winterson asks us to reread what we think we know and look again at how fiction works in our lives, giving us the courage to change our own narratives and alter endings we wish to subvert. As a young working-class woman, with no obvious future beyond factory work or marriage, Winterson realised through the power of books that she could read herself as fiction as well as fact. Weaving together fiction, magic and memoir, this remarkable book is a tribute to the age-old tradition of storytelling and a radical step into the future - an invitation to look more closely at our own stories, and to imagine the world anew. 'Enchanting, unexpected and razor-sharp' Kamila Shamsie'One of the most gifted writers working today' New York Times. In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming' Evening Standard.
