5.0 out of 5 stars
Postmodern masterpiece,
By A Customer
This review is from: Living in the Maniototo: A Novel (Paperback)
In this highly inventive novel, Janet Frame weaves reality, fiction and dreams into an ornate and profound novel . Mavis Halleton, the heroine, is a woman of some fortitude and no small independence who manages to survive writer's block and widowhood as she makes her way from New Zealand to Berkeley, where friends of hers have agreed to let her live in their house while they are away on vacation. The opportunity to live rent-free in a quiet house for a few months while she finishes her novel turns into something more than she anticipated, however, when her friends die in an earthquake and leave behind a will turning everything over to her. Themes from Dante's Divine Comedy provide an interesting parallel to this outstanding postmodern novel, winner of numerous literary awards, this novel yields new facets of understanding with each re-reading.
