Praise for In the Memorial Room

“This short, funny and often beautifully written novel — completed in the early 1970s but just now being published — provides an excellent occasion for remembering the weird wisdom and genuine talent of Janet Frame.”—Scott Bradfield, The New York Times, Sunday Book Review

“[T]his book is marvelous experimental fiction…Frame’s sentences are marvels, winding like narrow alleys through hill towns: They open spectacular vistas…Brilliant.”—Kirkus, Starred Review

“[T]he story is also a beautifully crafted artistic and philosophical creation that explores the nature of communication and exposes Frame’s love of language…this is a terrific introduction to an original writer who deserves her own serious league of fans. Recommended for all fiction collections.”—Library Journal
