For 10 points name this Australian author who appears in three works by J.M. Coetzee.
In one novel in which this character appears she sets the main character up with a blind nymphomaniac named Marianna. In another work, she discusses an experiment involving an ape named Sultan who is forced to find ways to obtain out of reach bananas and champions the "fullness of being" in animals' lives in a debate with Thomas O'Hearne, a philosophy professor at Appleton College. The final chapter of the best-known novel in which this character appears recreates Hugo von Hofmannsthal's "Letter of Lord Chandos to Lord Bacon" and follows an episode in a Kafkaesque prison camp in which she survives judgment by likening herself to a frog. Also appearing in The Lives of Animals and Slow Man, this character is likened to Doris Lessing for her novel The House on Eccles Street, a retelling of Ulysses from Molly Bloom's perspective, in the novel of which she is the title character.
