From <i>Owls do Cry</i> to <i>The Carpathians</i>, the novels of Janet Frame have challenged our understanding of what fiction does. In <i>The Frame Function</i>, Jan Cronin traces the operation of a prescriptive authorial presence within the novels to offer an engaging ‘inside-out’ guide to a great writer’s work. In crafting a portrait of Frame’s compositional processes, Cronin provides new insights into the underlying relationship between prescriptiveness and elusiveness in Frame’s work.
