Winterson’s take on Frankenstein to Cape

Jeanette Winterson’s Frankissstein will be published simultaneously by Jonathan Cape in the UK and Grove Atlantic in the US in autumn 2019.

Cape’s Rachel Cugnoni acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Caroline Michel at PFD, while Elisabeth Schmitz bought North American rights from PFD’s Alexandra Cliff.

The novel will breathe new life into Mary Shelley’s horror story, grappling with issues of identity, technology and sexuality.
