Book Review: Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson


From internationally bestselling icon Jeanette Winterson comes her most highly anticipated new book since Why Be Happy When You Could be Normal?, about the bodies we live in and the bodies we desire

Zeitgeist the novel!

Trans issues combined with AI and politics. Interspersed with a fictionalised autobiography of Mary Shelley.

It's a mixed bag of great ideas, high comedy, and beautiful literature. Perhaps it tries a little too hard to be modern - some of the AI discussions already feel a little dated.

A fun and funny novel.

Verdict
📚 Enjoyed this review? Buy me a book from my wishlist.
