Fossil capacities in the work of Janet Frame
The Guyanese novelist and critic Wilson Harris defines the word ‘fossil’ in an idiosyncratic sense, to invoke ‘a rhythmic capacity to re-sense contrasting spaces and to suggest that a curious rapport exists between ruin and origin as latent to arts of genesis’ (Harris 1974: 1) – prior to hinting that such a ‘heterogeneous scale’ (Harris 1981: 111) of temporality can be seen to exist within the fictional universe fashioned by Janet Frame. This, in…

Her en…
