Jeanette Winterson’s new novel is a “clever comic romp” that explores serious questions without ever being ponderous. In one storyline, set in 1816, we follow a young Mary Shelley, haunted by the deaths of her infant children, as she “starts to plot a novel that will show the dead being sparked back to life”, said Robert Douglas-Fairhurst in The Times. In another, set in the present, a trans doctor named Ry Shelley becomes embroiled with Victor Stein, a scientist who wants to “reanimate the head of a man frozen in a cryonics facility”. This is an “intelligent and inventive” look at the issues raised by AI that is also “very funny”.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eI disagree, said Sarah Ditum in the Literary Review.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrankissstein\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“grave-robs Mary Shelley’s original”\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003efor “body parts”, and yet itself “feels barely alive”. The characters mostly act as mouthpieces for political issues, while the plot – episodic and at times incomprehensible – calls to mind the “dismal experience of someone relating their dreams to you”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Week Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54038033006868,"sku":"jez1789766661460","price":16.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/7627\/9316\/files\/frankissstein-by-jeanette-winterson_1.jpg?v=1789766666","url":"https:\/\/straphemfit.shop\/products\/frankissstein-by-jeanette-winterson","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
