songwriting and winterson

some guy took every 3rd word from a letter his wife wrote him and made a song out of it.
i've heard a good one where a guys lists a bunch of types of conversations:
arguement, agreement, etc.

jeanette winterson on pamela wallin live said

1) she feels the author and the author's life is IRRELEVANT to the work
if the work is any good it will on after the writer so it doesn't matter who that person is...
she sends back a pre-printed card that says consider me dead when students write her to learn more about her in order to more fully comprehend her work.

2) she feels adultery is "crashingly bad manners"

3) she burns her rough notes and manuscripts because they weren't good enough to publish and she wants to stand by her published version

(she is sooooo cooooool)
