Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf Canada, 1995. 1st Canadian Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Full black cloth. 192 pp. Fine. In these ten intertwined essays, Jeanette Winterson invites the reader to explore art and to discover what it has to offer. An act of courage and effrontery, a uniquely human endeavour which defies time and differences, art offers us other realities, other emotions and other worlds if we are prepared to enter a relationship with it which will make its own demands on us. Thought-provoking, heartfelt, wise, personal and revealing, these essays, like their subject, will invigorate and inspire the reader by offering a new way of seeing and understanding the central role art can play in life.
