Synopsis
'There is no such thing as autobiography, there is only art and lies'.
Set in a London of the near future, its three principal characters, Handel, Picasso and Sappho, separately flee the city and find themselves on the same train, drawn to one another through the curious agency of a book.
Stories within stories take us through the unlikely love-affairs of one Doll Sneerpiece, an 18th century bawd, and into the world of painful beauty where language has the power to heal.
Art & Lies is a question and a quest: How shall I live?

From the Back Cover

"Several leaps forward in sophistication and technique from The Passion, which won the 1987 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize....a smooth-running...piece of machinery, which throws out... brilliant sparks." — The Montreal Gazette
"Dazzling...truly exciting to read." — The Times, U.K.
"Powerful." — The Toronto Sun
"Winterson soars with Art and Lies." — The Calgary Herald
"Expands the gender game...hurtles along so breathtakingly...Intriguing...Profound." — Now magazine
"If words were diamonds and sentences necklaces, Jeanette Winterson would be the De Beers of literature." — Entertainment Weekly
From the Inside Flap
One of the most audacious and provocative writers on either side of the Atlantic now gives readers a dazzling, arousing, and wise improvisation on art, Eros, language, and identity. "A series of intense, artful musings that are exhilarating and visionary. . . . Unsettling yet strangely satisfying."--Newsday.
