	nzgirl - Janet Frame
		Janet Frame was born in Dunedin in 1924.
		Janet was removed from the hospital and saved from a huge operation, which would have removed any sense of her as a person.
		Janet Frame is the perfect example of a New Zealand woman who has overcome the most incredible adversity to be not just a success at what she does, but also a happy, independent person.

	Janet Frame
		Frame herself was untouched by the notion that she was a genius and a world-renowned author.
		Janet Frame, who died yesterday aged 79, was a novelist, poet, essayist and short story writer; in her homeland of New Zealand she was regarded as one of the country's most distinguished literary figures, but she achieved international recognition only after her three-volume autobiography inspired Jane Campion's acclaimed film An Angel at My Table (1990).
		Yet Janet Frame's transformation from a painfully shy and introspective child into a celebrated author was not one with which she was comfortable; up until her death she remained a recluse, living under an assumed name and going to considerable lengths to avoid publicity.

		Frame won several awards for her fiction, including an Honorary Doctor of Literature from the University of Otago, a C.B.E. in 1983, and the Turnovsky Prize for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts.

		Frame was empowered, (she would wryly write later, "for your own good is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction").
		Frame was as complex a creature as any, ("Add to the characters [of a person] all the events, thoughts, feelings, and there is a mass of time, now a sticky mess, now a jewel bigger than the plants and the stars") but her life remains a furled, mythical one.
		Janet Frame's international success was matched domestically where the distinctions granted her testify to her place as a literary icon (Member, Order of NZ; CBE; honorary doctorate in English Literature and Burns Fellow, Otago University; Turnovsky Prize for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts; honorary Vice-President, NZ Women Writers' Society).

	Angel from the Mirror City: Jane Campion's Janet Frame (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Janet's story is largely one of suffering: from her childhood onwards she experiences grief, poverty and social stigmatisation, deprivation, fear and isolation, physical pain, manipulation.
		Janet (whom Frame describes as "in an adolescent homelessness of the self" [TTI, 136]), wanting to inhabit the identity of poet, to possess the quality of imagination, tries on the persona for herself by practising the facial expressions, the poetic sigh and the affectedly absent-minded hair twirling of 'The Dreamer' in her bedroom mirror.
		Framed by the window Janet is still contained, but protectively, as in the early scene where her mother's hands frame the daughter's view out of the train window.

	Janet Frame
		Janet Paterson Frame was born in Dunedin, as one of five children of an impoverished railway engineer.
		Her experiences Frame has dealt with in her novels, where schizophrenia is seen to open doors to personal growth and "madness" becomes a metaphor for escape from the constrictions of society.

	A survivor against the odds--noted New Zealand writer Janet Frame dies
		Frame wrote later: “It is little wonder that I value writing as a way of life when it actually saved my life.” She emerged, aged 29, with her sanity intact.
		Frame herself could clearly chart the intersection between alone and lonely, but here it seems as though her old enemy, the pressure of suburban respectability and conformism, had managed to cloud her vision.
		Frame’s literary momentum revived triumphantly in 1983 with the publication of the first volume of her autobiography To the Is-land, covering her childhood in an impoverished working class family.

	Abebooks - Janet Frame
		Janet Frame, New Zealand's greatest author, died on January 28 at age 79.
		Even after doctors eventually declared that Frame was not and had never been schizophrenic or otherwise disordered, she continued to battle critics who stubbornly propagated the myth that her genius was the result of mental illness.
		Frame's notorious and consistent tendency to shun the spotlight served only to encourage fans' and jourmalists' interest in her private life.

		Janet Frame founded the Trust in 1999 and on her death in 2004, bequeathed her copyright to the Trust and directed that the ongoing royalty and other income be used to give grants to other New Zealand writers of poetry and imaginative fiction.

	Ahila Sambamoorthy, "The 'Fantastic' as a mode of writing in Janet Frame's stories."
		As in all of Frame's works, the fundamental theme expressed in most of her stories is the reality, and the haunting questions, of the inexorable theme of death, a dominant facet of the child's visionary perception.
		Because Frame's child-protagonists empathize with, and rely on, the natural world for re-assurance and comfort on the one hand, or on the other hand, for indications of the presence of a fuller reality such as death, objects of nature tend to be invested with attributes of the child's feelings.
		Through a heightened and imagistic form of impressionism, Frame has shown how the reality of the "object" world is transformed into an "unrealistic" or mystical mode that emerges as a projection of her visionary-protagonists' psychological acuity and distortion of "normal" perspectives.

		According to one journalist, on one of the rare occasions a publisher persuaded Frame to submit a newspaper interview, Frame insisted that she sit in a sealed room and that written questions be slid to her under the door; she then returned written answers in the same manner.
		Janet herself had worried that if a non-New Zealander were to write such a book, that person might not fully understand the New Zealand dimension of her life – what it meant to be the child of a railways family, for example.

	Obituary: Janet Frame \| Obituaries \| guardian.co.uk Books
		While she was working as a trainee teacher in Dunedin in 1945, the combined effects of her feelings of inadequacy and the family bereavements brought on an emotional breakdown, which doctors mistook for schizophrenia - a misdiagnosis that kept her in mental hospitals for the better part of a decade.
		Critics would eventually suggest that it was Frame's familiarity with the extremities of experience in mental hospitals, combined with her precocious facility for language, that enabled her to burrow so far, and so convincingly, into the human psyche in her fiction.
		Frame herself was untouched by the notion that she was a genius and a world-renowned author.
