Winterson, J: Frankissstein A Love Story, Nominiert: Booker Prize 2019

I really enjoyed this book and I am Saying this despite not being a big fan of science fiction. Frankissstein retells the events of Frankenstein interwoven with semi-biographical snippets of Mary Shelley and her life while telling the story of a transgender protagonist. The author also included a discussion around AI and cryogenics and shows us that maybe we aren’t that far off from this future. I really liked the back and forth between 1816 and a post-brexit Britain. The writing was smart, funny and full of satire, which made the book even more enjoyable.
