Janet Frame (1924 – 2004). New Zealand novelist.
Her celebrity derived from her dramatic personal history as well as her literary career. Following years of psychiatric hospitalisation, Frame was scheduled for a lobotomy that was cancelled when, just days before the procedure, her début publication of short stories was unexpectedly awarded a national literary prize. The movie "An Angel at My Table" is based on her story.
