Melanie Wilson’s Comments (group member since Dec 31, 2011)

Melanie Wilson’s comments from the Janet Frame group.

My introduction to Janet's work was the same as Mike's. As a writer and someone also a bit "socially awkward", I felt a great affinity with her as a person. Her autobiography was actually the first work of hers that I read. I would read her novels and short story collections as I could find them over the years at the bookstores or library. Never really been able to get into her poetry, though. I'm really fascinated with her use of language and her imagination, as well as the various ways everyone is in their own little world in so much of her work.
