Items related to Gut Symmetries (Vintage International)
Aboard the QE2 and under the stars, three lives converge. Two physicists - Jove, a married man, and Alice, a single woman - meet and commence an affair, only for Alice to fall in love with Jove's wife, Stella, a poet. Winterson captures all three sides of this triangle of desire - and the rich history that has brought them together - with her prodigious passion and intellect. Encompassing ideas that reach from the Greeks to the Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) of modern physics, Winterson incorporates the entire universe from Liverpool to New York, from quarks to cosmos - in a novel of sex and the spirit, the real and the fantastic, male and female, science and religion, and love in all its frailty and excess.

Review:
"Brilliant ... [Gut Symmetries] scintillates with a language live enough to carry a wild musing on the largest issues of our existence." - The Globe and Mail "Beyond comparison.... Few writers can contend with Jeanette Winterson.... She writes like a demon drunk with love, and if there's a sentence in Gut Symmetries that doesn't startle readers with its bravery and wit, then they're not reading hard enough." - The Chronicle-Journal "Fascinating, provocative.... Jeanette Winterson proves she is as literarily nimble as she is intellectually stimulating." - The Montreal Gazette "Riveting ... [Winterson] expresses the range of the human soul with startling ingenuity." - The Vancouver Sun

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The highwire artist of the English novel redraws the romantic triangle for the post-Einsteinian universe, where gender is as elastic as matter, and any accurate Grand Unified Theory (GUT) must encompass desire alongside electromagnetism and gravity.One starry night on a boat in the mid-Atlantic, Alice, a brilliant English theoretical physicist, begins an affair with Jove, her remorselessly seductive American counterpart. But Jove is married. When Alice confronts his wife, Stella, she swiftly falls in love with her, with consequences that are by turns horrifying, comic, and arousing. Vaulting from Liverpool to New York, from alchemy to string theory, and from the spirit to the flesh, Gut Symmetries is a thrillingly original novel by England's most flamboyantly gifted young writer."Winterson is unmatched among contemporary writers in her ability to conjure up new-world wonder.A beautiful, stirring and brilliant story."--Times Literary Supplement"Dazzling for [its] intelligence and inventiveness.[Winterson] is possessed of a masterly command of the language and a truly pliant imagination."--Elle"One of our most brilliant, visionary storytellers."--San Francisco Chronicle Beginning an affair with an older scientist, a leader in their mutual field of theoretical physics, a young woman also forms an intense friendship with, and abiding passion for, his wife.
