OnurSomeone across me on the overground is reading Jeanette Winterson’s “Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit”. I naively get filled with hope for the future whenever I see someone reading a great book.

我鳗鱼 
也是一只自由泳的小鸟读过《Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit》

因为我对宗教不感兴趣，书的前半部分读起来非常松散而且让人没有耐心，但是后半部分就渐渐开始能 relate 了。但前半部分的铺垫也还挺重要的。可能是前半部分我读了两三个月，后半部分我两三天就读完了的缘故，最后整体印象没有特别好，明明后半部分还挺不错的…里面非常经典的一段，妈妈把胃溃疡当爱情的那一段，可惜我之前已经读过了…

NeoDB书 - Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
Winner of the Whitbread Prize for best first fiction, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a coming-out novel from Winterson, the acclaimed author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. The narrator, Jeanette, cuts her teeth on the knowledge that she is one of God’s elect, but as this budding evangelical comes of age, and comes to terms with her preference for her own sex, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household crumbles. Jeanette Winterson's semi-autobiographical novel is one of the most beautifully written story of a middle-class girl struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, creativity, passion vs. her family/society's inflexible "formed opinions". The story of the persecution of a girl because of her sexual preference (in this case, lesbianism) is not new. It's how Ms. Winterson presents her story. Fresh. Alive. Witty. Funny. Heartbreaking at times. Imaginative. Almost like you were holding a piece of someone's soul in your hands rather than merely a book. I noticed that one reviewer mentioned that the book's sexual nature is vulgar. I do not find this so. Even if it is, so what? Life is vulgar. Only those fond of sweeping the dirt under the carpet so that it stays out of sight (or those who drive lesbian girls from their house/church and pretend they don't exist) will disagree with the innate vulgarity of all life. This book is the antidote for that kind of sanitized thinking. This book exposes that sanitized Christian middle-class thinking is weird, almost alien when observed sanely by a third party standing on the outside. This book celebrates life. Read it.
What is it about intimacy that makes it so very disturbing?
