just finished the novel. particularly enjoyable read, and most definitely the most quotable piece of literature I've ever encountered. I don't ever annonate or highlight things in my books, especially not in novels, but I was seriously urged to do both things while reading that one. through her vivid array of characters Winterson voices numerous often wise but always intruging takes on technology, love, artificial intelligence, humanity, life itself and so many more, the sheer number of which is certainly impressive. there's no relactuncy in me calling it the post-modern manifesto we deserved. if you have read the book, I would love to hear specific points or takes that compelled you. also I would really love to know people's opinions on the dynamic between Ry and Victor. I kicked off rooting for them, which was distrupted by many questionable things said and done by Victor halfway through the book. but Victor's final words kind of convinced me that Victor loved Ry, in his utterly unique kind of way of course, confirming the novel's subtitle ''a love story'' as true. at least to me. plus, I would like to hear theories on what happened to Victor in the end. Since Ry mentions that him being dead is not a possibility, do you think he purposefully disappeared out of Ry's and the others' lives to continue his experiments somewhere else, incognito? or did he make his dream come true and conveyed his consciousness into code, granting himself the kind of fludity and relative immortality that fascinated him so much throughout the novel? generally, for a booker prize longlisted novel, and considering how actually great it is, I haven't seen nearly enough people talking about Frankissstein so every person who have read it is more than welcome to share their opinion on it, I would love to read all of them.
