#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Acclaimed for her original and brilliant writing, Janet Frame is equally famous for her dramatic personal history. Recounted in her three-volume autobiography, her story was eventually adapted for the small screen as 'An Angel At My Table', directed by Jane Campion. Pip Adam, a brilliant and original writer herself, will consider the life and times and literary imagination of Janet Frame.
