ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Janet Frame

Janet Frame (1924-2004), immortalized in her autobiography and the acclaimed film. An Angel at My TableJane Campion, one of the greatest New Zealand writers of the 20th century, is a renowned novelist, poet, and short story writer who transformed a past of poverty and mental illness into literature that, according to critics, makes "worlds flourish in the minds of readers." In 1952, her first literary prize saved her from a lobotomy at the Seacliff Asylum, an experience recounted in her book. Faces in the Water (1961). Freedom took her to Spain and England, where she made writing her reason for being, and to a literary recognition and public scrutiny to which, shy and solitary, she had always been averse. Resistant to the conventions of the time, she questioned in her work the boundaries between sanity and madness, institutional violence, and the stigma that hangs over those condemned to ostracism.
