TY - ABST T1 - Frankissstein: A Love Story Y1 - 2019 A1 - Jeanette Winterson (b. 1959) KW - English author KW - Female author AB -

A complex novel, some of which tells the story of Mary Shelley, her husband, Byron, and their friends and the writing of Frankenstein. Another part, set in post-Brexit Britain concerns a transgender doctor, also a Shelley, and their love for an AI specialist, Victor Stein. Another main character is Ron Lord, who creates sexbots for lonely men like him. A related theme is cryrogenics, with all of it coming more or less together.
