I can only suppose that Jeanette Winterson is trying to keep her credits as a &#8220;literary&#8221; writer even as she openly commits genre. Surely she&#8217;s noticed that everybody is writing science fiction now? Formerly deep-dyed realists are producing novels so full of the tropes and fixtures and plotlines of science fiction that only the snarling tricephalic dogs who guard the Canon of Literature can tell the difference. I certainly can&#8217;t. Why bother?
