Product Description
Product Description
The most comprehensive selection of Janet Frame's stories ever published, this exceptional collection has been chosen from the four different volumes released during her lifetime. Featuring the best of her stories, the book includes pieces that were written over four decades, including stories from her debut collection, "The Lagoon and Other Stories." First published in 1951, those stories were written while Frame was confined in a mental hospital. When the collection won the Hubert Church Award, Frame was spared a controversial brain operation.
The stories in this new book also include selections from "You Are Now Entering the Human Heart," published in the 1980s after a hiatus from writing. As the last stories she published before her death, her writings from this time reveal Frame's unflinching ability to explore the drama of madness, isolation, and identity.
This new book also includes five short stories that have not been collected before, completing a volume that testifies to the brilliance of Janet Frame's life and literary talent. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars
For completeists only, April 1 2010
By ExPat "ExPat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Prizes: Selected Short Stories (Hardcover)
A posthumous collection of Frame's short stories, the vast majority previously published. While there are some stand out pieces, the collection as a whole pales in comparison to her fictions.
