p_cat, kitling and I were discussing Jeanette Winterson at the NYE PorkFest, since kitling hasn't experienced her, and p_cat and I are Jeanette evangelists. We did the whole "But don't start with her later work" thing that Jeanette fans have to do (and, I might add, that Jeanette herself does - she considers her "real" work to be a 7 book cycle starting with _Oranges_). But not until today have I heard the perfect description of why. Courtesy of morgan303 - "before she got a dose of the Tori's".

Accurate _and_ hilarious.

Oh, so at the time you were pushing Jeanette like heroin, but now you're distancing yourself? *I* didn't start the conversation :)

Does Tori make you angry too?

I do believe that on the abovementioned occasion I made exactly the same rant! Never one for originality :)

Mind you, I was telling _other_ people to read her - that's different!

And don't talk to me about Tori. Y kant she read, anyway?
