"Storytelling and imagination sit as anchor in this fascinating conversation about self, the world around us, and our future."
An intriguing and positively fascinating part memoir, part conversation, part examination of the power of storytelling and imagination. Author Jeanette Winterson takes the beauty of One Thousand and One Nights and journeys through her memory, her thoughts, and the story itself. She has a sparkling eloquence, with the ability to take you by the hand and bring you with her in the conversation.
I found myself fascinated, as my thoughts were thoroughly provoked and I started to ponder my take on not only the world but myself. This has been chosen as a Liz Pick of the Month due to its ability to encourage contemplation. Compelling, thoughtful, and questioning, One Aladdin Two Lamps is a beautifully provocative book.
