Jeanette Winteron. An inventive postmodern author whose fiction explores the nature and
varieties of erotic love, Winterson is widely regarded as one of Britain's most talented and
provocative contemporary writers. Her award-winning novels, including Oranges Are Not the Only
Fruit (1985), The Passion (1987), and Sexing the Cherry (1989), are often playful and humorous,
but nevertheless serious reconsiderations of gender and sexual identity--particularly what it means
to be lesbian--as well as to the relativity of existence, desire, and time. These imaginative
narratives, which incorporate biblical themes and elements of myth and fairy tale, often feature
cross-dressing, promiscuous, and sexually ambiguous characters. Winterson's use of the line
"Trust me, I'm telling you stories" as a refrain and leitmotif in The Passion has taken on emblematic
meaning for her fiction in general
