Janet Frame (1924-2004) is New Zealand's most famous writer. She was a novelist, poet, essayist and short-story writer. She sought the support and company of fellow writers and set out single-mindedly and courageously to achieve her goal of being a writer. She wrote her first novel, Owls Do Cry while staying with her mentor Frank Sargeson, and then left New Zealand, not to return for seven years.
Her autobiography inspired Jane Campion's acclaimed film, An Angel at My Table. She was an honorary foreign member of the American Academy of Arts and Literature and won the Commonwealth Literature Prize. In 1983 she was awarded the CBE.
One of the most <b>impressive accounts</b> of madness to be found in literature . . . A <b>masterpiece</b>
Lyrical, touching and deeply entertaining
Observer
What an<b> extraordinary woman</b> she is, overcoming such obstacles, and making fresh and good use of them in her work
Janet Frame's<b> luminous words</b> are the more <b>precious</b> because they were snatched from the jaws of the disaster of her early life . . . and yet to read her is no more difficult than breathing
Janet Frame is the <b>greatest New Zealand writer</b>. She is utterly herself. Any one of her books could be published today and it would be ground-breaking
