Daughter Buffalo
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Daughter Buffalo is Janet Frame's only book set in the United States--in New York, where she once resided. The theme of human attitudes toward death is depicted through the eyes of the American narrator, Dr. Talbot Edelman. Ms. Frame suggests that rather than face the fact of death, we try to hide from it, to sweep it under the rug.
Janet Frame is New Zealand’s most famous writer. A winner of the Commonwealth Prize for her fiction, she is also internationally acclaimed for her autobiographical trilogy, recently filmed under the title ‘An Angel at My Table’. ‘The Lagoon’ is her first published work.
