Sobre este e-book

Widely regarded as one of New Zealand’s greatest fiction writers,
Maurice Gee has written virtually no non-fiction. The exceptions are the
two exquisite childhood reminiscences combined here into a memoir in
this BWB Text.

In this little known work, Gee describes in
fascinating detail his boyhood and family life in West Auckland and
offers illuminating insights into some of the creative forces which have
driven some of his fiction: the creek with its dangers – where, he
writes, he glimpsed ‘sex and death’ – the kitchen with his mother
preparing dinner in the gathering dark, and his elderly uncle, later the
model for the magnificent Plumb.
