[en] A thorough examination of Jay to Bee: Janet Frame’s Letters to William
Theophilus Brown (2016), which provides a selection of Janet Frame’s
letters to her American painter friend Bill Brown, confirms her
propensity for viewing her own life-writing primarily as an instrument
of fictionalization. Frame’s letters should then not be considered as a
mere textual adjunct documenting a period in her life or a phase in
her poetics. By dint of actually inventing, or imaginatively adding to,
the story of her friendship with Brown, she constructed a complex
corpus which proves formally and thematically consistent with the
novels of her middle to late period. This is where she first explored
intuited links between the arts of painting and fiction, which would
lead to the enhanced metafictional self-consciousness characteristic
of her latest novels.
