		Norris Frank Davey, who would in adult life change his name to Frank Sargeson, was born in Hamilton on 23 March 1903, the second of four children.
		Throughout the war Sargeson was troubled by surgical tuberculosis, which protected him from conscription and qualified him for an invalid's benefit.
		Frank Sargeson's major achievement was to introduce the rhythms and idiom of everyday New Zealand speech to literature, although his technical sophistication makes even the short stories of the 1930s and 1940s much more than the mere transcription of reality for which they were sometimes mistaken.

	"Why Is Greville Texidor Part of the Canon?" by Dale Benson
		Although Sargeson in That Summer and Mulgan in Man Alone had already moved away from the notion that individuals must belong to society in order to be happy and prosperous, they still caused their protagonists to realise the saving grace of mateship in a diminished world.
		King adds that much of the anthology is `shaped in greater or smaller measure by the Sargeson short story model, and by the grooming which he had given individual drafts sent to him for appraisal'.
		Frank Sargeson in `Anxious Huntsman', a review of de Mauny's novel for the New Zealand Listener 21 no. 534 (16 September 1949), 12, criticises `a number of borrowings that the author has not fully assimilated into his own personal manner of feeling and thinking'.

		Frank's extra-low wooden throne is my favourite place to sit and watch a spider spinning its web to catch a fly for lunch.
		Puckishly Frank laughs, and then suggests that the Old Man did it to escape the house and avoid the sharp tongue of his little Londoner wife, Ruby, who'd never recovered from the hard labour of giving birth to one of their two daughters, all alone on the dirt floor of their gum-digger's tent.
		Which leaves Frank, suddenly overcome and chuckling with a good idea for another story, to go in and scribble down a few notes before feeding a fresh green sheet of paper into his typewriter ready for the morning.

	A Great Day Summary & Essays - Frank Sargeson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Sargeson is one of New Zealand’s best-known writers.
		The story illustrates the spare, compressed nature of Sargeson’s art (almost all his stories are very short), as well as his use of informal, colloquial language and working-class characters.
		In “A Great Day,” Sargeson avoids any overt moralizing and leaves the story to speak for itself, inserting many subtle clues within the text to enable the reader to make sense of the final incident.

	Bruce Harding Abstract
		This paper explores the power of the personal in the life and fiction of Frank Sargeson by locating Sargeson's writerly espousal of radical empathy towards social offenders/outcasts in his traumatic trial and conviction for a 'homosexual offence' in 1929.
		While a pragmatic, joint family decision, Sargeson's banishment/exile into the wilderness (the King Country) to exorcise or at least cauterize his susceptibility to lustful temptation would almost certainly have struck the young man in these inflated and biblical terms: as a casting out, a chastising punishment.
		From this critical experience we may fairly trace the moment when Frank Sargeson confirmed his literary sense of mission and adopted what I call radical 'lapsarian' charity which he espoused in all of his published fiction.

	LITERATURE – FICTION - Depression, 1930–1940 - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		In her novels, as in the stories of Frank Sargeson and in the one novel which John Mulgan lived to write, readers may observe the process of change by which writers resolved these tensions and “became New Zealand” … “whole people, not exiles or minds divided”.
		Sargeson's stories began to appear in 1934; Conversation With My Uncle, 1936, and A Man and His Wife, 1940, offer deceptively simple tales, often in colloquial monologue, which expose the seamier underside of social conformity and the bourgeois ethic.
		Sargeson's one full novel, I Saw in My Dream, 1949, is a study of a boy searching for his real self, but inhibited by the cramping pressures of a puritan environment.

		Maurice Noel Duggan ranks with Katherine Mansfield and Frank Sargeson as one of New Zealand’s greatest short-story writers and literary stylists.
		Sargeson introduced Duggan to other aspiring writers on the North Shore, such as Greville Texidor and John Reece Cole.
		From the beginning Duggan rejected Sargeson’s New Zealand-colloquial early style and, with his mentor’s encouragement, displayed an elaborateness and an impatience with conventional form that were to become features of his work.

		She had a strong friendship with Frank Sargeson (1903-1982), born of mutual admiration for each others work.
		In 1952, Sargeson wrote a highly favourable review of her first collection of short stories, The Lagoon, and she signed an affectionate tribute to his work (Landfall, March 1953).
		It is therefore possible that Sargeson's reputation and review may have contributed to her salvation from a leucotomy that might have eradicated her creative potential and unique vision of the world around her.

		One person, however, who decided to stand his ground rather than become an expatriate was Frank Sargeson, whose own short stories were social realist with a dark undercurrent.
		Sargeson’s influence on New Zealand letters was far wider than simply his own writing.
		In some ways Frame was a transitional figure—younger than Sargeson by 20 years and yet older than the post-war generation that was increasingly calling the old certainties into question.
