Jeanette Winterson's "Aladdin et moi" arrives in French
The British novelist, a fixture of contemporary literature for nearly four decades, is the subject of a new France Culture interview timed to the French publication of her latest book.
France Culture has published an interview with Jeanette Winterson, describing her as a major figure of contemporary British literature, translated worldwide and winner of numerous prizes. The broadcast coincides with the French release of her latest book, "Aladdin et moi," now out from Buchet-Chastel, according to France Culture.
The programme traces a career built over nearly forty years, during which Winterson has become one of the most recognisable voices in English-language fiction. France Culture quotes her recalling a formative realization from childhood: "Enfant, j'ai compris que je pouvais changer l'histoire" — as a child, she understood she could change the story.
No further details on the content, length or translator of "Aladdin et moi" were given in the source material.
