About Maurice Gee: Life and Work
In this revelatory new work, acclaimed biographer Rachel Barrowman interweaves the story of Maurice Gee’s life with his fiction, illuminating the unassuming ‘man in the grey cardy’ alongside his unsettling stories. Immaculately researched, with full access to her subject and his records, Maurice Gee: Life and Work offers a fascinating portrait of a writing life. It is a major contribution to New Zealand literary history.
All welcome.
