Book excerpt: Hailed by one reviewer as 'likely a work of genius', Scented Gardens for the Blind (first published in 1963) ostensibly follows the members of the fractured Glace family, suffering from different forms of sensory deprivation - the daughter mute, the mother blind, the father estranged - yet each living in a vivid world of their own making. While the father looks to the past in his obsessions with genealogy and toy soldiers, the modern age hangs over them with the hint of nuclear apocalypse. But all is not what it seems in this dark and dazzling novel, and Janet Frame's narrative virtuosity is expressed in an ending that makes the reader re-interpret all that has gone before. Modernisation, in the form of electricity and the Overspill from London, confronts the inhabitants of the small English village of Little Burgelstatham in the richly textured The Adaptable Man (first published in 1965). While some amongst the large cast of characters prefer to live in the past and avoid modern life, others adapt and welcome its arrival, not least Muriel Baldry, who can now hang her Venini chandelier and throw a dinner party to celebrate. But does adapting to the twentieth century demand darker deeds? C.K. Stead wrote of this comedy of manners that 'Frame, that most authentic, firm and unadaptable lady, planted landmines everywhere in those bogus English fields'.

Book excerpt: This study of Janet Frame's fiction addresses with unusual directness the Utopian momentum that underpins her concern with fundamental social issues, traditionally highlighted in existing criticism of her work. The idea behind this book is that Frame's critique of society, while it is offered for its own sake on one level, should not lead us to neglect the author's more speculative interest in an alternative conception of the human person. Her engagement in a species of experimental portraiture proves elusive, though, owing to an indirectness of approach that usually takes the form of thematic circumscription, rather than explicit representation. For example, the figure of the mute child, recurrent in her work, may well testify to a concern with the plight of the mentally ill; but on another level it also points to an envelope of intractable experience which it is the artist’s task to penetrate and explain. Such aspiration is inseparable from the search for a new medium of expression, felt to be necessary if one is to meet the challenge of apprehending the scope of pioneering knowledge. This close reading of the novels reveals that the alternative dimension of experience to be found in Frame’s novels is characterized by an intact capacity for remembering, or for imaginatively re-creating, eclipsed aspects of the present. Frame's view of Utopia thus turns out to be manifold: it is existential and ontological, linguistic and epistemological, but also historical and political. An unravelling of these intertwined strains then serves to clarify the complex question of Frame's post-colonial sensibility, which cannot be said to rely on a sense of rigid identity, whether national or otherwise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though New Zealand author Janet Frame (1924–2004) lived at a time of growing dissatisfaction with European cultural models, and though her (auto-)biography, fiction and letters all testify to the fact that a direct encounter between herself and Buddhism occurred, her work has, so far, never been examined from the vantage point of its indebtedness to Buddhism. It is of the utmost significance, however, that a Buddhist navigation of Frame’s texts should shed fresh light on large segments of the Framean corpus which have tended to remain obdurately mysterious. This includes passages centering on such themes as the existence of a non-dual world or a character’s sudden embrace of a non-ego-like self. Of equal significance is the conclusion one then draws that this unharnessed world which human beings are often unable to embrace has always been right under their nose, for, whenever the aspect of the intellect that filters perceptions into mutually excluding categories fails to function, he or she finds a place of subjective arrival in, and sees, this supposedly unknowable ‘beyond’. Thus, possibly against the grain of mainstream criticism, this study argues that Janet Frame constantly seeks ways through which the infinite and the Other can be approached, though not corrupted, by the perceiving self, and that she found in the Buddhist epistemology a pathway towards evoking such alterity.

She took a tiny industry under her wing and before she could count to ten (years) the fragrance world was spritzing to success with her.” Carmen Dell’Orefice Legendary model “Annette Green was ‘the Mother of Invention’ creating the legacy of the Fragrance Foundation and the Wardrobe of Fragrance concept. Her mark upon the fragrance industry is immeasurable. A trail blazer in business, she is a role model to women everywhere.” Marc Rosen Renown Beauty & Fragrance Package Designer “Thanks to the industry’s ‘unsinkable Molly Brown,’ fragrance has become a universal language and the essence of the global economy.” Burt Tansky, President, Bergdorf Goodman and Lawrence Aiken, President Sanofi Beaute and Chairman of the Fragrance Foundation at 1993 Fashion Institute of Technology ceremonies at which Annette Green was honored with its ‘One Person Makes a Difference’ annual award. “Annette Green has long been the workhorse of the Fragrance Foundation.

Annette Green brought the art and science of fragrance together as few industry leaders have done before her and since.
