Art & Lies: A Piece for Three Voices and a Bawd by Jeanette Winterson
5.0
Winterson is my favourite when her stories and writing cut the deepest, when the story is at its rawest, when the worries of the narrative are those of the world's (both real and imagined). In awe at how the same themes can come crashing in so many of her works, and yet still feel new. So many things are connected, over and over again, over so many books, and yet it still feels important and urgent and needed.
Art & Lies is a question and a quest: How shall I live? - from Winterson's website. From her more biographic pieces, we can find out this book was written at a darker period in her life. You can tell, it seeps through: a need for art, but art as survival, lies as the truth behind what's considered real. As someone who's more lost than found, this rang so close to my own worries. Loved this. I am deeply biased at this point, but hey.
