The author of two critically acclaimed novels, a fascinating work of lesbian history, and a series of successful stage plays, Donoghue can apparently do anything. With <i>Kissing the Witch</i>, a collection of revisionist fairy tales, she has proven once again that she is a great writer. In these 13 interconnected tales she finds new meanings in old stories: Cinderella runs off with her fairy godmother, Snow White's awakening is more erotic than romantic, and Rapunzel discovers that her freedom, although not her salvation, is in her hair. Donoghue writes about women, some lesbians and some not, and makes them the center of her fantastical world. The bold, daring boys of the Grimm tales are not here, but in their place are vibrant, knowing, and brave women and girls who are finding out what the world holds for them. 43884 1993 Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins total:447|5:136|4:169|3:100|2:33|1:9| 447 1731 708 67 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jun 10 13:28:23 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 13:30:56 -0700 2008
