Timeline
Gabrielle Carey (10 January 1959 – 2 May 2023) was an Australian writer who co-wrote the teen novel, Puberty Blues with Kathy Lette.
This novel was the first teenage novel published in Australia that was written by teenagers.
Carey became a senior lecturer in the Creative Writing program at the University of Technology Sydney, studying James Joyce and Randolph Stow.
Carey was born in Sydney, New South Wales, and was raised in an atheist, humanist household.
Carey met Kathy Lette at the age of 12 while still at school and they became best friends.
Both left school early (Carey at 15 and Lette a year later) against the wishes of their families.
Leaving home, they shared a flat together and wrote Puberty Blues, which was based on the lives of young male surfers in Sydney and their girlfriends.
The novel shocked many people by its graphic description of teenage behaviour.
Once the book was published Carey and Lette separated and their lives moved in different directions.
While in Ireland in the mid-1980s, she converted to the Catholic faith, becoming convinced of the importance of spirituality in everyday life.
In 1981, Bruce Beresford directed a film adaptation of the novel.
Carey and Lette also wrote a column for the Sun Herald, under the name "The Salami Sisters".
A telefilm version of Carey's autobiographical book, Just Us, an account of her relationship with Parramatta Gaol prisoner, Terry Haley, was made in 1986.
It was directed by Gordon Glenn from a screenplay by Ted Roberts.
After a year in Ireland she left and for several years lived in a small village in Mexico, returning to Australia in the early 1990s.
Her 2020 book, Only Happiness Here, was shortlisted for the 2021 Nib Literary Award.
Carey had a daughter and a son.
She lived in Sydney and was a freelance writer, penning occasional articles for The Sydney Morning Herald and other newspapers.
She had lectured at several universities throughout her life, including the University of Sydney and the University of Canberra.
Until 2020, taught creative writing at the University of Technology, Sydney.
Carey died suddenly in early May 2023, at the age of 64.
