GEE, Maggie

GEE, Maggie
(1948-)
   UK writer whose first published novel, Dying in Other Words (1981), is a morbid experimental work which could be interpreted as having ghostly elements. In The Burning Book (1983) an ordinary contemporary family's problems are overshadowed by auctorial asides reminding the reader of the fragility of human life, as demonstrated by Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the HOLOCAUST that will occur at the end of the novel. Whereare the Snows? (1991) takes her protagonists from the early 1980s through to a pessimistically drawn 21st century.

   Other works: Light Years (1985); Grace (1989).
