Winterson is in fine form in these essays about art, arguing, admonishing, infuriating, teasing . . . she says much that is important about energy and passion, and her stalwart defence of the modern is a challenge to the barrenness and niggliness with which we live. Through all these essays on ecstasy and effrontery runs a central theme that art, true art, is and will remain a vital force, without which life is scarcely wothy of the name.
