It's no secret that I'm a

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Jeanette Winterson's writing for both a queer and gender-challenging writing style.  In our discussion of "home," I thought of Oranges are not the Only Fruit, an autobiographical tale of a lesbian brought up by Evangelicals, and one that is Anglophonic.

I also recommend Written on the Body and Lighthousekeeping by Winterson.  I think that her use of the 2nd-person in these is really indicative of her interpretation of gender.  Winterson is an active political blogger as well, so it might be well to tie her current politics into her fiction/ creative non-fiction.
