New old Janet Frame coming from Fitzcarraldo Editions in November: her 1966 novel A State of Siege. Wise words from the chap on the back cover.

Janet Frame’s A State of Siege, in the standard Fitzcarraldo Editions livery: white text on International Klein Blue card

The blurb for the novel, as well as a quote from me:

“[Frame's| writing is engaging and idiosyncratic - full of a character that proves that the best way to strike deep with the reader is not to do what everyone else is doing, but to grasp your distinctive vision of the world and hammer it hard."
- John Self, The Times

So wise, those words, yes. I am going to seek out a copy, it sounds great.
