‘Coded in a code of the world' : minor literature and the time-image hidden in Janet Frame’s late fiction?
West, Patrick 2010, ‘Coded in a code of the world' : minor literature and the time-image hidden in Janet Frame’s late fiction?, Double dialogues, no. 12, Winter, pp. 1-12.
This article seeks to demonstrate how Janet Frame’s late fiction can be read as a theoretical engagement with the conceptual investigations of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, especially the notions of minor literature and the in her late novels Living in the Maniototo (1981) and The Carpathians (1989). For this reason, my approach must be sharply distinguished from a more commonplace analogical framing of Frame or a simple one-to-one translation of her fiction into alternative terms. By weaving theory through her fiction, Frame makes a significant contribution to literature that responds to the still-emerging field of Deleuzean literary critical theory.
