The prominence of the Bible as intertext in Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, both a coming-of-age and a coming-out story, has puzzled readers. This paper argues that Winterson's articulation of a lesbian subject is actually inseparable from her revisionary engagement of the Bible. By repeatedly turning and re-turning several types of narrative about the origins of identity and story-making. Winterson reconstructs both some biblical texts and a hallmark of the gay and lesbian literary tradition as precursors for the prophetic voice of the main character.
《橙子不是唯一的水果》既是一个成长故事，也是一个出柜故事，其中《圣经》作为互文的突出地位让读者感到困惑。本文认为，温特森对女同性恋主体的阐述实际上与她对《圣经》的修正性参与密不可分。通过反复转向和再转向几种关于身份起源和故事创作的叙事类型，温特森重构了一些圣经文本以及同性恋文学传统的一个标志，将其作为主角预言性声音的先驱。
