Lucie Elven · Wouldn’t you like to be normal? Janet Frame’s Place @LRB lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…
My essay on the visionary, affecting and extraordinarily funny work of Janet Frame. Focused on the novels and short stories she wrote while she lived in Camberwell in the early '60s, when she was freed of her ‘schizophrenic fancy dress’. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…
Featuring: •@lucieelven in @LRB on a reissued novel, •@LedgerLomasM, also in @LRB, on a collection of William Morris’ work, •@profrhodrilewis in @Lit_Review on a book about a book about Joyce… (1/2)
The Lucie Elven piece on Janet Frame’s life and work in the LRB is, among other things, just fucking terrifying. Jesus, what a way to treat people.
