The Gap of Time
In Jeanette Winterson's cover version of The Winter's Tale, The Gap of Time, we go from London, which is still reeling from the 2008 financial crisis, to New Bohemia, a storm-ravaged American metropolis. Her narrative is about childhood friendships, money, social position, technology, and time's elliptical nature. This is a narrative about the devouring force of envy on the one hand, and atonement and the eternal love of a lost child on the other. It's written with vigour and wit.
