News and views from Janet Frame's literary estate

Friday, April 8, 2011

Here's another terrific portrait of Janet Frame in her prime, taken by Henry Grossman for the TIME magazine review of Intensive Care (1970).

Pamela Gordon: A literary executor is the person entrusted with caring for the literary estate of a deceased author. How did I get to be Janet Frame's literary executor? Because she asked me to do it and I agreed. She was my aunt, and close friend. I had the relevant experience and post-grad qualifications for the job. I knew and loved her work. She appointed me as one of the founding trustees of her charitable trust, The Janet Frame Literary Trust, and named me as co-executor of her will.
