商品簡介
Bazin (English and commonwealth literature, Paris X Nanterre U., France) analyzes the work of New Zealand writer Janet Frame (1924-2004), starting with the two autobiographical novels Owls Do Cry and Faces in the Water, then her nine novels, short stories, and poems, ending with her official three-volume autobiography (The Is-Land, An Angel at My Table, and The Envoy from Mirror City.) She demonstrates how the autobiography can be seen as a hermeneutic tool to reread the novels, as it sheds light on her previous works, which Bazin views as belonging to the autobiographical category and illustrating the fine line between autobiography and fiction.
