Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Critics have long debated the degree to which Janet Frame is a social-realist writer. To understand Frame’s fiction properly, we need to see it in the context of fantastic literature as a whole, and especially the modern fable. The fable offers Frame an opportunity to explore the realm of the imagination while expressing deeply held views on social and philosophical questions. The Lagoon and Other Stories contains both fables and largely realist stories that employ elements of the fable. Fables like “Spirit” and realist stories like “Swans” thus need to be read in the light of the techniques of fantastic literature in general and the modern fable in particular.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
