Peter Gregory McGehee[1] (October 6, 1955 – September 13, 1991)[2] was an American-born Canadian novelist, dramatist and short story writer.
[2] Born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to Frank Thomas and Julia Ann May McGehee,[1] Peter moved with his family to Little Rock when he was six.
[2] While living in San Francisco, he wrote his first play and first comedic musical revue The Quinlan Sisters, and later met Canadian activist Douglas Wilson, who became his partner.
McGehee subsequently wrote two novels, Boys Like Us and Sweetheart, and a book of short stories, The IQ Zoo.
[2] The novels focused on the life of Zero MacNoo, a character who much like McGehee himself was an American living in Toronto, and his family and circle of friends.
