Acerca de esta escucha

Since her astonishing debut at 25 with Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Jeanette Winterson has achieved worldwide critical and commercial success as “one of the most daring and inventive writers of our time” (Elle). Her new novel, Frankissstein, is an audacious love story that weaves together disparate lives into an exploration of transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and queer love.

Lake Geneva, 1816. Nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley is inspired to write a story about a scientist who creates a new life-form. In Brexit Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate around AI and carrying out some experiments of his own in a vast underground network of tunnels. Meanwhile, Ron Lord, just divorced and living with his mom again, is set to make his fortune launching a new generation of sex dolls for lonely men everywhere. Across the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryogenics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically and legally dead...but waiting to return to life.

What will happen when homo sapiens is no longer the smartest being on the planet? In fiercely intelligent prose, Jeanette Winterson shows us how much closer we are to that future than we realize. Funny and furious, bold, and clear-sighted, Frankissstein is a love story about life itself.

My favorite author does it again

Great story, great actors. I really enjoyed the Ry character, both in the story development and the acting.

highly recommend this fantastic(al) book!

Ohhhhh, where to start. First, I enjoy anything Jeanette Winterson writes. I first encountered her in The Passion, which is a fantastic book about Venice, Napoleon Bonaparte and magic. Second, I read Dracula and Frankenstein every October (my self-nominated Month of Horror) so this book provided a lovely and new read for my Month of Horror. Aside from the loving homage to Frankenstein, this book creatively blends history with the present, creator and created with descendants, and throws in an eloquent love story to boot. Ms. Winterson is a genius and I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in a fantastic(al) read. Brilliant!

Great Story Great Listen

Facinating book. Narrators were excellent!
Thought-provoking, well written story: a classical theme with current relevance.

Perdita Weeks Owns My Heart

The story itself was good and thought provoking, but a bit lyrical in some places for my taste. I would also second the several reviews claiming transphobia, but would clarify that there are several characters who are transphobic while the message itself is pretty progressive (IMO, I don't speak for trans people).

The best part of this book was Ms. Weeks' performance. I could listen to her read the ingredients off a milk carton for eternity and would be totally enthralled.

expected something else

great performance, I just expected the story to be different. it was entertaining at times, this book is just not my cup of tea. it's very philosophical and analytical but not a story like I expected. others may enjoy this book though.

disappointed.

Winterset is an excellent storyteller, but it's clear she has no real familiarity with the reality of trans men's lives or transmasc culture. Wish she had kept to the formal choices of Written On The Body or the realm of magical realism rather than trying to portray a way of being she hasn't even tried to understand.

Very cliché in terms of attracting readers with sexual themes and lacks essential meaning

Shittiest book I had to listen to for the sake of a critique essay, it has no relevance to anything whatsoever, characters have sex for the sake of their primal desires that’s it,

Racist stereotypes; gratuitous sexual assault

I could not finish it because I was so offput by the racist stereotypes and unnecessary sexual violence.
