	Maurice Gee Criticism
		Maurice Gee's last novel, Plumb, was the story of a New Zealand Presbyterian minister who preached pacifism and socialism, left the church, and was sent to prison for sedition.
		Gee discloses that much of the early life of Plumb and his wife is based on the lives of his grandparents.
		Maurice Gee's skill is confirmed in Meg, whose story of a family with more than its fair share of misfits, lechers and drunks would be the stuff of soap operas in the hands of a lesser writer.

	Maurice Gee \| Icon Artist 2003
		Maurice Gee was born in Whakatane in 1931 and passed much of his childhood in the country town of Henderson-a town that finds many fictional equivalents in his writing.
		Gee gained an MA in English Literature in 1954 and initially worked as a schoolteacher in Paeroa, but found little to enjoy in the profession.
		Gee's literary breakthrough came with the publication of "the trilogy".

	Bee Gees World: Maurice Gibb Funeral
		The Bee Gees, short for the Brothers Gibb, were a falsetto-voiced disco sensation during the 1970s, with a string of hits from the movie "Saturday Night Fever," including "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever." Their contributions to the album in 1977 made it the best-selling movie soundtrack ever, with more than 40 million copies sold.
		Maurice's twin brother, Robin, his widow Yvonne, and children Adam and Samantha, who are in their 20s, were among mourners at the private funeral at Riverside Funeral Chapel in Miami Beach.
		Maurice Gibb, 53, was taken ill at his Miami Beach home last week and rushed to a hospital, where he suffered cardiac arrest before undergoing surgery for a blocked intestine.

	Genealogy of the Gee family
		Gee is about 47 years of age, five feet nine inches in height, well built though rather slight, with brown hair largely sprinkled with gray, gray mustache and goatee, blue eyes, aquiline nose, with an intelligent and rather anxious expression.
		Gee was intent on household cares in her kitchen, when she was startled by the entrance of an armed Negro in British uniform, who ordered to cook breakfast for him.
		Gee was raided by a band of Tories, having with them a squad of Whig prisoners, and they commanded her to prepare dinner for them.

	The Scornful Moon by Maurice Gee, reviews, links and opinions, book club reading suggestions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Maurice Gee proves yet again what a skilful wordsmith he is with this, his fifteenth novel.
		Maurice Gee chooses to tell this story of family feuds and scandal, through the jaded voice of Sam.
		It is all of those things that have been praised about Gee in the past - he recreates a New Zealand society with accuracy and atmosphere, his characters have depth and complexity, his use of language is profound but understated.

	Maurice Gee: Our Superb Storyteller
		Gee himself doesn't write poetry—“not since I was about 16”—and there are no “Rex Petley” poems quoted in Going West, but Gee's language in Going West, as in all his novels, is poetic in its stylishness, its easy and sophisticated shifts between different tones and points of view.
		Gee likes living and writing here, and plans to stay, though he would like to move a little closer to town—to Wadestown or Kelburn: “I'd like to be able to walk to town, it's a bit far from Ngaio.
		Gee's dedication to his writing over the past three decades has resembled the commitment that some of his characters show to their own work, to their relationships and to their friendships.

		But in reality it is, as with almost all of Gee's work, an examination of one man's life through his own (not always complimentary) first-person voice.
		Moving, intense, sad and uplifting at once, it is not a difficult or lengthy book: good for reading by the fire with a glass of port, and plenty of time to have a long, hard ponder afterwards.
		As ever, Gee surprises with the depth of thematic expression and emotional intensity he can wring out of such seemingly innocuous, domestic, everyday stuff.
