Living in the Maniototo by Frame, Janet

ISBN: 9781741666069 PUBLISHER: Vintage (Australia) FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 256 PUBLICATION DATE: 3.03.2008 DIMENSIONS: 20 x 13 x 1 centimetres

DESCRIPTION: Through the eyes of a woman of myriad personalities - ventriloquist, gossip and writer - Janet Frame playfully explores the process of writing fiction: the avoidances, interruptions and irrelevancies, as well as a teasing blurring between fact and fiction. The landscape of the Maniototo becomes 'the bloody plain' of the imagination, as the narrator tells us about her marriages and children, her friends (real and imagined), her travels (between New Zealand and the United States) and her stay in the house left in her care by friends travelling in Italy. She must face the reality of death as well as probe the authenticity of the modern world.
