Jeannete Winterson is a genius when it comes to crafting a story. Her extremely wicked satire at religion and its mass market culture are evident in this book. Having read all of her current works, Boating For Beginners is a treat. Its a mesching together of the worst of our modern world and the typical story of Genesis. Noah was an ordinary man, bored and fat, running a thriving little pleasure boat company called Boating for Beginners. Gaudily painted cabin cruisers took droves of babbling tourists up and down the Tigris and Euphrates, sightseeing. Bursting with ideas, Boating for Beginners rewrites religion and philosophy, while taking a pop at romantic fiction. It is perhaps Jeanette Winterson's most overlooked work and although not her best--turn to Oranges are Not the Only Fruit or Sexing the Cherry for that-- Boating for Beginners is witty, playful and imaginative.

In a press conference on board his most luxurious cruiser, Noah announces that the One True God had revealed himself. Winterson's freewheeling mix of modernity and biblical antiquity make for a most unusual variation. boating-for-beginners-jeanette-winterson 1/1 Downloaded from bltadwin.ru on November.
