Thanks for retrieving this one, @BOMBmagazine. Still remember doing this interview with @Wintersonworld. Loved it (and her work).
From the Archive: Author @Wintersonworld, interviewed by @writercatebush, on her book WRITTEN ON THE BODY (@AAKnopf), romanticism vs. cynicism, and the role of gender in sex scenes. From BOMB 43, 1993. https://t.co/p0tbWP8ae4
