I very much enjoyed the early stories in this book which were based in that simpler New Zealand reflecting family life, suburb or rural setting. However, the tone changes and reflects the period in her life that these stories were written in i.e. her experiences in the mental health system and the impact it had on her writing style. Nonetheless, there is much to commend from someone who is recognised as one of our greatest writers. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
'Frame . . . is a master . . . All stories overflow with dazzling observation and unforgettable metaphor . . . A powerful collection.' - Kirkus'This is a gem of a book, or rather a string of gems, each uniquely coloured, cut and crafted.' - LandfallThis brand new collection of 28 short stories by Janet Frame spans the length of her career and contains some of the best she wrote. None of these stories has been published in a collection before, and more than half are published for the first time in Gorse is Not People. The title story caused Frame a setback in 1954, when Charles Brasch rejected it for publication in Landfalland, along with others for one reason or other, deliberately remained unpublished during her lifetime. Previously published pieces have appeared in Harper's Bazaar, the NZ Listener, the New ZealandSchool Journal, Landfall and The New Yorkerover the years, and one otherwise unpublished piece, 'The Gravy Boat', was read aloud by Frame for a radio broadcast in 1953. In these stories readers will recognise familiar themes, scenes, characters and locations from Frame's writing and life, and each offers a fresh fictional transformation that will captivate and absorb.
