Art Objects Essays on Ecstasy and Effrontery

"What happens when a writer of stylistically bold, emotionally charged fiction turns her sights to essays on the arts? The answer is a potent, if at times prickly, collection of pieces....Part soulful meditation and part fiery manifesto, 'Art Objects' is at once a defense of the necessity of art in our lives and a militant call to arms against those who would opt for the easy diversions of entertainment over the deeper challenges of art....Ms. Winterson is a passionate writer, and if at times some of her pronouncements sound self-righteous, the conviction behind her arguments more than compensates for her tone."Winterson, Jeanette is the author of 'Art Objects Essays on Ecstasy and Effrontery', published 1997 under ISBN 9780679768203 and ISBN 0679768203.
