Written On The Body
Jeanette Winterson

"Written on the Body is a secret code only visible in certain lights : the accumulations of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled away from prying eyes, never unfold too much, tell the whole story. I didn't know that Louise would have reading hands. She has translated me int4 her own book".
