JANET FRAME
An Autobiography
TO THE IS-LAND
AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE
THE ENVOY FROM MIRROR CITY
$32.95
Janet Frame brings the skill of an extraordinary novelist and poet to these vivid and haunting recollections, gathered here for the first time in a single edition and complemented by previously unpublished photographs. From a childhood and adolescence spent in a materially poor but intellectually intense railway family through life as a student and years of incarceration in mental hospitals, eventually followed by her entry into the saving world of writers and the 'Mirror City' that sustains them, what we are given is not just a record of the events of her life. Janet Frame accomplishes 'the transformation of ordinary facts and ideas into a shining palace of mirrors'.
'One of the greatest autobiographies written this century'. MICHAEL HOLROYD
