Art & Lies A Piece for Three Voices and a Bawd

"Winterson readers will recognize the blurring of fact and fantasy, the criss-crossing of centuries and the melting of gender lines from other works where, breaking art's rules, she aims to tell a more profound truth about life. Here she uses familiar material--a hypocritical religion, a destructive family, wounded characters in search of healing and wholeness, and finally a surge of hope, expressed by a castrato who sings an aria in memory of a cardinal who loved him--to tell us that art saves. Art is our last chance at beauty in this despoiled world. Art--and love--can make us whole."Winterson, Jeanette is the author of 'Art & Lies A Piece for Three Voices and a Bawd', published 1996 under ISBN 9780679762706 and ISBN 0679762701.
