Jeanette Winterson
Raised with parental expectations that she become a Christian missionary, the teenaged Jeanette Winterson embarked instead upon a defiant journey of self-discovery-sparked by the books she smuggled into her bedroom. In this conversation with Bill Moyers, the author of Sexing the Cherry, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, and Lighthousekeeping talks about Weight, her new version of the story of Atlas and Hercules. She also discusses the power of art to build a fulfilling inner life.

- "Storytellers take ancient myths and turn them into parables for their times, thus keeping truths about human experience current, available to be passed from generation to generation, across time, through cultures. Jeanette Winterson, daughter of Pentecostal evangelists, is one such storyteller. In this interview, she discusses her new novel, a daring take on the classical Greek story of Atlas, the importance of myth in modern life, and the power of art to build a fulfilling inner life."@en
