A GLORIOUS MORNING, COMRADE by Maurice Gee, 1975 The last four stories in Maurice Gee's collection A Glorious Morning, Comrade (1975) concern old men. All of them are Gee's attempts to portray his own grandfather, a charismatic figure he finally captured in the novel Plumb, the first of a trilogy.
Gee became a full-time writer in the mid 70s, as he got busy on Plumb — based partly on his extraordinary grandfather — and released his short story collection, A Glorious Morning, Comrade (since then novels have been his preference).
He portrayed relations between the sexes as distorted by personal limitations and social expectations. His first novel, The Big Season (1962), about the goings-on in a community obsessed with rugby, and his short-story collection A Glorious Morning, Comrade (1975), are set in this milieu.
