The genre-bending and masterful new collection of ghost stories from Jeanette Winterson A ghost has no substance, but it has power - and presence - and it can appear in alternative forms. In the metaverse, we are all alternative forms. The Dead will join us. 'Always passionate and provocative' NEW STATESMAN 'The best living writer in this language' EVENING STANDARD Our lives are digital, exposed and always-on. We track our friends and family wherever they go. We have millennia of knowledge at our fingertips. We know everything about our world. But we know nothing about theirs. We have changed, but our ghosts have not. They've simply adapted and innovated, found new channels to reach us. They inhabit our apps and wander the metaverse just as they haunt our homes and our memories, always seeking new ways to connect. To live amongst us. To remind us. To tempt us. To take their revenge. These stories are not ours to tell. They are the stories of the dead - of those we've lost, loved, forgotten... and feared. Some are fiction. But some may not be.

Heralded as Virginia Woolf's greatest novel, this is a vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life. When we meet her, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party preparation while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house, she is flooded with remembrances of faraway times. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old. "Mrs. Dalloway was the first novel to split the atom. If the novel before Mrs. Dalloway aspired to immensities of scope and scale, to heroic journeys across vast landscapes, with Mrs. Dalloway Virginia Woolf insisted that it could also locate the enormous within the everyday; that a life of errands and party-giving was every bit as viable a subject as any life lived anywhere; and that should any human act in any novel seem unimportant, it has merely been inadequately observed. The novel as an art form has not been the same since. "Mrs. Dalloway also contains some of the most beautiful, complex, incisive and idiosyncratic sentences ever written in English, and that alone would be reason enough to read it. It is one of the most moving, revolutionary artworks of the twentieth century." --Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours

Nell'autunno del 1975 la sedicenne Jeanette Winterson deve prendere una decisione: rimanere al 200 di Water Street assieme ai genitori adottivi o continuare a vedere la ragazza di cui è innamorata e vivere in una Mini presa in prestito. Sceglie la seconda strada, perché tutto quello che vuole è essere felice. Tenta di spiegarlo alla madre, che però le chiede: "Perché essere felice quando puoi essere normale?". Da questa frase inizia il racconto intimo e personale di un'infanzia trascorsa fra un padre indifferente e una madre che passa le notti sveglia ad ascoltare il Vangelo alla radio, impastando torte e lavorando a maglia. La sua è fin dall'inizio la storia di una lotta per sopravvivere alle prepotenze di questa madre, che trova normale lasciare la figlia fuori dalla porta tutta la notte e sottoporla a esorcismi liberatori. Una lotta per affermare se stessa, la propria omosessualità e l'amore per i libri. Perché questa è anche la storia di un amore infinito per la letteratura, nato per proteggersi e per cercare quell'affetto stabile che in casa sembra mancare irrimediabilmente, un amore che resiste anche quando la madre scopre i libri che Jeanette nasconde e li dà alle fiamme. Con generosità e onestà intellettuale, Jeanette Winterson scava nei propri pensieri e sentimenti di bambina, adolescente e donna, ripercorrendo nel contempo la sua dolorosa ricerca della famiglia naturale. Ne esce un racconto intenso, a tratti tragico ma anche allegro, come sa essere la sua scrittura.
