Publisher's Note
A combined love story and philosophical meditation on the body as a physical phenomenon thrusts the reader into the life of a married woman and her erotic relationship with an unidentified lover who narrates the story.

Industry reviews
"'Written on the Body' pitches reason against feeling in a story of love and the loss of love between a writer and a beautiful married woman dying of cancer. Notorious in England for outing Winterson's affair with her agent Pat Kavanagh, wife of novelist Julian Barnes, this novel teases the reader with the narrator's undeclared gender and offers a poetic if mannered entwining of languages of biology and love."
Lambda Book Report - Charlotte Innes 

"Her writing is like a wall of dry stones: each word a specially chosen rock, unique in color and shape...The effect is stimulating, punchy, and...beguiling... Winterson has a lot of talent."
New York Review of Books - Gabriele Annan (03/04/1993)

"Winterson...has turned her feminist fairy stories into shaggy-dog tales of domestic life. These temper the narrator's passion for Louise with wry humor, making the story all the stronger for it...The nonissue of the narrator's sex quietly asks the unsettling question What does it matter?...Winterson has once again proved to be a storyteller of compelling interest and exceptional grace."
Pamela Petro
