does anyone still read jeanette winterson?

It was when she tried to get all Ponderously, Seriously Literary that she began to bore. So I have no use for Written on the Body but I still sometimes grab Sexing the Cherry for when I'm waiting for a train or a doctor's appointment and I want something light that I know won't piss me off.

does anyone who knows anything about winterson suppose that there's any conceivable connection between that book and the dream willow has, in buffy, where she's painting runes or whatever on tara's back?

"Karl Kinsky, an unbalanced tattoo artist, becomes dangerously obsessed with Maddy, a model he meets when he's hired to paint temporary tattoos on a group of women for a photo shoot. As his obsession grows, Kinsky becomes increasingly determined that Maddy should bear his "mark" ... forever."

I read an article about her recently in a journal about women and religion, and this comment supports that article completely. The author basically said that Winterson has become so far removed from the woman she was when she wrote Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit that it's getting hard to even keep an industry going around her, because she only wants to talk about bonkers christianity and not about discovering her inner lesbian or anything. So all the people who read her early stuff and go wow! great! are repulsed by the way she is and the way she writes now, and vice versa. Apparently. I've never read anything by her, so I wouldn't know.
