Anyone know anything by "Tanglewreck" by Jeannette Winterson?

Am a bit puzzled:
a)it's down on amazon as being published beginning of January, but also as not being published yet!
b)plot line sounds weirdly similar to her most recent one, lighthousekeeping

grrrr - meant of course "about Tanglewreck" rather than "by Tanglewreck"

see I am a classic example of how MN has dumbed down recently

I used to love JW; Boating for Beginners, The Passion etc etc
but I am not at all surprised the plost sounds repetitive, she peaked a few years back IMO

I loved Oranges, and liked Lighthousekeeping, so thought it would be worth making the effort to read some of the others. I'm just used to boring conventional narratives, so it's a new experience for me getting used to her techniques. I just love her use of language.

Just read "Weight", her retelling of the Atlas/Hercules myth - enjoyed it, nice and short book too!

Hmmm maybe I should give her another chance then

She's forever on the blower pestering me to review her works
