I'm sad to hear that one of my favourite New Zealand authors past away recently.
I discovered Mr Gee's work through his 1992 novel Going West and became a big fan. I was lucky enough to attend a talk he gave at the old Christchurch City library promoting that book and have followed his work since then. Working on this site I discovered that he wrote for the New Zealand small screen on classics like Close to Home and Mortimer's Patch, and several of his books were adapted over the years:
His place in the New Zealand Literary landscape is a major one, I just hope more of his small screen work will become available for a wider audience to appreciate..
My condolences to his family and friends.
