Mona Minum and the Smell of the Sun

Recipient of the prestigious Commonwealth Writers Prize in 1989, Janet Frame has long been admired for her startlingly original prose and formidable imagination. A native of New Zealand, she is the author of eleven novels, four collections of stories, a volume of poetry, a children’s book, and her heartfelt and courageous autobiography — all published by George Braziller. This fall, we celebrate our thirty-ninth year of publishing Frame’s extraordinary writing.
