Christchurch author Patrick Evans returns to his muse - writer Janet Frame - for the third in his trilogy about her life. In Salt Picnic, set in 1956, Evans has fictionalised the few known facts about Janet Frame's time in Spain, creating a protagonist called Iola. Cynthia Morihan reads from Salt Picnic, and Lynn Freeman speaks with Evans about the novel, published by Victoria University Press.
