In the frame

Scottish author Andrew O’Hagan’s inspiring opening address at this month’s Sydney Writers’ Festival included mention of NZ literary great, Janet Frame. The author of Living in the Maniototo, The Edge of the Alphabet and An Angel at My Table was listed alongside Oscar Wilde and Tennessee Williams as writers notable for their “bids for sexual freedom”. Frame died in 2004 aged 79. Read her NZ Edge Heroes entry here.
