Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 272 pages.Jane Carswell began her working life at Pegasus Pre ss shortly after its audacious publication of Janet Frame's novel Owls Do Cry, and years later she went on to publish a book herse lf, an award-winning memoir about teaching in China called Under the Huang Jiao Tree. The road between one book and the other was a rocky one paved with self-doubt and publishers' rejections, the experience provoking Jane to write again, this time about the tr oubled transformation between the private interior world of readi ng and the noisy exterior world of publication, between the books we read and treasure and the ones we write. She tried to manage this struggle by dividing her time between a busy life as a music teacher in Christchurch while looking after a succession of Chin ese guests, and a quiet withdrawal to a world of meditation and m onasteries. But publication continued to elude her, so Jane journ eyed to the place where Janet Frame grew up to find the courage s he needed to revise her manuscript one last time. Lyrical and lit erary, Talk of Treasure is a compelling memoir about how to be a writer, and more simply, just how to be.
