Title: Owls Do Cry
Author: Janet Frame
Publisher: Vintage
Year: 1958/2007
299 pages
Audiobook.
A well-written novel that makes much use of stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and multiple points of view. Fiction on an autobiographical base, Owls Do Cry focuses symbolically on finding self-defined and personally-recognized treasures in the rubbish. Psychologically realistic and deeply sad, it is always engaging and frequently moving.
This audio edition, which appears to be the 50th anniversary publication, includes several brief essays on Frame's life and work as well.
