JANET FRAME - Autobiography - Hardback Book | ||
 ISBN: 0704350602 AUTO BIOGRAPHY | £15.00

|
| TO THE IS-LAND AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE THE ENVOY FROM MIRROR CITY New Zealand's most distinguished living writer, 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 volume. 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, followed eventually by entry into the saving world of writers and the 'Mirror City' that sustains them, this is not just a record of the events of a life. Janet Frame accomplishes 'the transformation of ordinary facts and ideas into a shining palace of mirrors'. Two volumes of this autobiography - To the Is-Land in 1983 and The Envoy from Mirror City in 1985 - won the prestigious New Zealand 'Wattie' Book of the Year Award; and the other volume, An Angel at my Table, won the Non-Fiction Prize, New Zealand Book Awards, in 1984. Contains 24 pages of previously unpublished b/w photographs. |
