The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson

The book is composed of three variations on "a repeating world" and the implication is that the cycle of beginning and ending is infinite.
Characters recur in different combinations, but the overall themes remain the same: The world has exhausted its resources and is on the brink of disaster; hope for change lies not in government or big business, but individual action.

The Stone Gods, i haven't read yet, but i've been on a little winterson fix myself. I started with her Passion, which i was really very disappointed with, at the same time i found it difficult to understand what it was that i didn't like. After this, i read her brilliant debut, Oranges aren't the only fruit, which also helped me realize what i had missed in Passion. Oranges, of course, featured her characteristic magic with words, but according to me, was also conceptually more intriguing than passion, where the (rather empty) plot was just a setting for her wordplay and magical threads she weaves between the past and the present, between myth and reality and so on. (with winterson, words are objects; they have life and power, and they can do with you as they please. very often i have been stopped dead in my tracks by one particular change of phrase here, or poetic line there, and it has always taken me a few hours to get back to the material, such is the web she weaves).

While being on this winterson trip, i read an interview of hers, and it was there that she had mentioned her greatest inspiration being virginia woolf, so i picked up "The Waves", by her. this has been (and continues to be, i have no idea when i am going to finish it.. the most complicated, layered, dense (almost claustrophobically so) and yes, poetic work i have ever come across. when it comes to startlingly brilliant wordplay and lines that bristle with insight and deeply mesmerising imagery, she has no parralel. of course, the flipside is, it's going to take a lot of dedication to read her...i've been on "the Waves" for the last 6 months, and i read not more than 4 pages in each setting!

however, another author i would like to recommend very highly, is the one-of-a-kind haruki murakami...what genre, i hear you ask? you know, it would be easier for you to read a novel of his, than it would be for me to explain one. any genre "noose" i might try to put around his work, will fall far from the mark. as far as adjectives go, this time i will have to use a superlative...just plain brilliant!
