Fall For The Book: Novelist Keith Donohue

Thursday, September 18, 2014 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM EDT
Johnson Center, Meeting Room D


The bestselling author of The Stolen Child, The Angels of Destruction, and Centuries of June returns with his eagerly awaited fourth novel, The Boy Who Drew Monsters, about a 10-year-old boy trapped inside his own world, whose drawings blur the lines between fantasy and reality—for himself and everyone around him.

Keith Donohue is the author of the novels The Stolen Child (2006), Angels of Destruction (2009), and Centuries of June (2011). His work has been translated in two dozen languages, and his novels have been named as “Best Book of the Year” by Amazon.com, Borders Original Voices, Library Journal, Washington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Kansas City Star, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and Locus magazine (UK). Audrey Niffenegger has said “Donohue evokes the otherworldly with humor and the ordinary with wonder.”

His new novel, The Boy Who Drew Monsters, a hypnotic literary horror novel about a young boy trapped inside his own world, will be published by Picador on Oct. 7, 2014.

Donohue spent most of his career as a ghostwriter for Federal government agencies, including the National Endowment for the Arts, and has taught and lectured on writing and literature at several colleges and universities. His reviews have appeared in the Washington Post and the Washington Independent Review of Books. A graduate of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Donohue also holds a Ph.D. in English from The Catholic University of America. He lives in Wheaton, Maryland.
