| | Diane Caney has argued in her article "Janet Frame and The Tempest" (1998) that Frame's writing is iridescent with imagery drawn from Shakespeare's play The Tempest and mirrors the tale of Prospero with the notions of Storm, Sea, Island, Exile, Magic, Otherness and Return. | | | The author herself considered the best thing she ever wrote to be a fable entitled 'Bird, Hawk, Bogie.' In it the bird (inspiration and imagination) is eaten by a strong hawk (materialism), which in turn is eaten by the bogie (repressed imagination and individualism). | | | After publication of her first book, she is saved from lobotomy. |
