2/12: where credit's due

Truth be told, I'm not generally a fan of Jeanette Winterson's work. I read one of her novels years ago, and more recently I stopped early on while reading another (and I don't usually abandon novels midway). But I enthusiastically give her credit today: I read her excellent critique of Frederick Turner's Renegade: Henry Miller and the Making of "Tropic of Cancer." She didn't shy away from saying things that needed saying. I was impressed--and grateful.
