Combining contemporary theories in psychoanalytical and cultural studies, it proposes that a rethinking of fetishism allows Winterson's works to be brought into sharper critical focus by repositioning fetishism as a daily practice in society. In so doing, it argues that Winterson's work challenges orthodox, normative, and contemporary views of fetishism to reveal her own alternative version. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContaining the transcript of an email Q\u0026amp;A with Winterson herself and covering the majority of Winterson's oeuvre, from her first novel, \u003ci\u003e Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit\u003c\/i\u003e (1985), up to the most recent, \u003ci\u003eFrankissstein\u003c\/i\u003e (2019), the book is divided into three main chapters that each discuss a particular theme in Winterson's fiction: bodily fetishism, food fetishism, and sexual fetishism. While the book's focus is on Winterson, the theoretical framework it proposes can be applied to other authors and disciplines in the Arts and Humanities, such as theatre and film, offering new ways of thinking about topics such as fetishism, feminism, psychoanalytical theory, postmodernism, gender, and sexuality.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShareena Z.
