I Have What I Gave - The Fiction of Janet Frame

In her study of Janet Frame's eleven novels and the extended story 'Snowman, Snowman', Dr Panny shows that each work is skilfully patterned to include a dimension that has been deliberatedly concealed. Aspects that have often mystified readers are unfolded lucidly, without recourse to terminology that migtht impede a new appreciation of Frame's texts. Dr Panny's approach provides access to Frame's irony, to her subtle humour, and to the most provocative questions implicit in her work.
