Like a modern-day rollercoaster ride through Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this novel is an exploration of the scientific community’s incremental crawl towards evolutionary perfection

Jeanette Winterson’s fictional novel Frankissstein is like a modern day roller coaster ride through Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, following the journey she took in its writing. While Shelley’s 202-year-old Romanticist novel tells of Dr Frankenstein’s creation of a hideous sapient creature, Winterson’s novel is an exploration of the scientific community’s incremental crawl towards evolutionary perfection.
