Dying, In Other Words
''Dying, in Other Words'' is the debut novel of English author Maggie Gee, variously described as surrealist and modern gothic.〔(pp. 213-221, ''Studia Neophilologica'', Volume 69, Issue 2, 1997 )〕 It garnered "rave reviews" in ''The Observer'' and ''The Times''.〔("Go on, get on with it: an interview with Maggie Gee" ). Retrieved 2013-07-28.〕 According to the OUP's ''Good Fiction Guide'', a "vividly written experimental novel" it made a "strong impression" when it was published in 1981.〔Jane Rogers (ed.), ''Good Fiction Guide'', 2nd edition, OUP, 2005, p. 260. ISBN 019-280647-5〕 Containing "postmodernist gimmicks"〔(DYING, IN OTHER WORDS by Maggie Gee | Kirkus ) Retrieved 2013-07-28〕 and self-refexive structures〔page 51, ''Murder by the Book?: Feminism and the Crime Novel'' By Sally Rowena Munt.〕 it concerns a supposedly dead woman rewriting the story of her own death.〔(Maggie Gee | British Council Literature ) Retrieved 2013-07-28〕
The novel led to Gee appearing in the Granta Best of Young British Novelists list for 1983.〔(writers' hub - Paint Brushes and Pitch Forks - Maggie Gee ) Retrieved 2013-08-05.〕 Although in a 2012 interview Maggie Gee says that 'I see it as partly luck – the novel came out in July when nothing much was published then, the first review was a rave in ''The Observer'', then ''The Times'' ran an extract and everyone fell into line, because critics are easily influenced.〔(Go on, get on with it: an interview with Maggie Gee ). Retrieved 2013-08-05.〕
In a 1997 interview Gee admits: "I was 25 when I wrote that book, and I suppose I had more of an exhibitionist streak at that age. I had such fun with the playfulness. As I got older I realised that being categorized as experimental, although it gets you lots of review space, is death; also that you can frighten a lot of readers off."〔
==Plot introduction==
The novel concerns the death of Moira Penny, a postgraduate literature student in Oxford,〔George Stade, Karen Karbiener, ''Encyclopedia of British Writers, 1800 to the Present, Volume 2'', p. 200.〕 who's naked body is found outside her apartment. But Moira Penny is also writing a novel about the death of an author. The narrative is circular in nature and "snakes through the minds of assorted people as they react to Moira's demise".〔(grumbooks: Dying, In Other Words - Maggie Gee ). Retrieved 2013-07-28.〕〔
