Frank Devine
1931-2009
Author of “Older & Wiser”.
The inspiration in my youth for my setting out to write novels.
“Frank Devine was a brilliant writer who brought a world-wide view to editing, and happily disrespected all the pieties of Australian public life” - Chris Mitchell, Editor-in-Chief, The Australian.
Frank spent most of his life out of New Zealand but every moment with him on visits left me with treasured memories.
It would have been your birthday to-day, brother, if you’d still been with us. My thoughts are with your three talented daughters and your wife, Jacqueline.
Fondly remembered.
