However, it is subtitled “12 Stories and 12 Feasts for 12 Days,” for interlarding each story is a festive recipe. It therefore seems fitting that for her new book Winterson should turn to Christmas, a celebration steeped in folklore and aglow with wonder.įor the most part, “Christmas Days” is a collection of yuletide-themed tales. The best of her work finds her impishly tinkering with fairy tales, legends and myths, whether looking at them from skewed angles or coating them with a postmodern polish. Since her spellbinding, genre-splicing first novel, “Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit,” Jeanette Winterson has consistently beguiled and bemused readers with bold, imaginative fiction.
