Jeanette Winterson: The Waterstones Interview

The title will tell you that Jeanette Winterson's new novel takes its cue from Mary Shelley's classic, Frankenstein, but we asked her why that book is so inspiring for writers today and why the themes of artificial intelligence, gender and the future of humanity play a part in her modern riff on it.

Jeanette Winterson is one of those people that really makes you think. I never did come away from an interview with her without learning something, or at least seeing something more multi-dimensionally. I think she is fabulous, period...

Such an intelligent, articulate speaker! Can’t wait to read this

[@inessamaria2428]

Thanks for this interview

[@63artemisia63]

So many wonderful ideas and so much joie de vivre in this short interview, the first I’ve seen with her. I’m almost dizzy.

Oh my goodness she is so articulate but how absolutely correct she was about our future is just terrifying. The widespread introduction of chat GPT, the rise of the right, the “creation of our own god”, the epidemics?!?!? Wow

[@shuddupeyaface]

It's so wonderful, hearing intelligence in motion. Without privilege. Makes me happy x

[@vanessatelford5006]
