[more ▼] Janet Frame's 1979 novel Living in the Maniototo features a ubiquitous narrator whose multiple personalities are linked by a common interest in creation. This choice of narrative perspective, coupled with the characters and events depicted in the book, provides the basis for an exploration of the related concepts of art, language and replicas. By establishing connections between these elements, this article attempts to unveil the dynamics at work in the novel's multi-layered structure and thus shed light on the role of the artist in the narrative and, by extension, on the author's metafictional strategy.

[more ▼] In 1981, Nigerian author Ben Okri published The Landscapes Within, a novel about a young painter’s life and creative aspirations. This work, in Okri’s own words, “continued to haunt [him] and trouble [him] through the years, because in its spirit and essence [he] sensed that it was incomplete.” Therefore, he published a revised version of this early book, under the title Dangerous Love, in 1996. By way of introduction, this article will briefly outline the meanings of these different titles. Then, starting from a close reading of the narratives, I shall argue that the major factors of differentiation between the novels are not to be found on the level of plot, but mainly lie in the importance given to certain statements, metaphors, and the degree of accomplishment of the painter’s work. Importantly, these modifications are paralleled by significant stylistic changes. If language plays a determining role on the formal level, it will also be analysed as an important thematic concern of both the author and his protagonist. Indeed, the second version of the novel questions not only the appropriateness of English in post-colonial African settings, but also the relevance of language in general as a medium of artistic representation.
