Next Tuesday's Friends of Fryer Event is "Investigating Arthur Upfield": a panel discussion about Upfield, the first Australian professional writer of detective novels. Panellist and co-editor, Kees de Hoog, blogs about how his interest in Upfield developed...

My interest in Arthur Upfield really began in the 1960s when I was a teenager. I remember reading quite a few Bony novels over that time.
