About Aye Write: One Aladdin Two Lamps: Jeanette Winterson with Zoe Venditozzi
Forty years on from her era-defining debut novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Jeanette returns with One Aladdin Two Lamps. Weaving together fiction, magic and memoir, this remarkable book is a tribute to the tradition of storytelling and a radical step into the future — an invitation to look more closely at our own stories, and to imagine the world anew.
One Aladdin Two Lamps cracks open the story of Shahrazad in One Thousand and One Nights to reveal new questions and answers. Who should we trust? Is love the most important thing in the world? Does it matter whether you’re honest? What makes us happy?
In her guise as Aladdin, Jeanette asks us to reread what we think we know, giving us the courage to change our own narratives and alter endings we wish to subvert.
