Maud Casey is the author of two novels, “The Shape of Things to Come” and “Genealogy,” and a story collection, “Drastic.”
The New York Times said “Genealogy” is “Casey’s most sophisticated work yet. … ambitious and deserves no small amount of praise. Casey’s refusal to spoon-feed a narrative to her readers reveals a courage that’s all too rare in these linear, literal times.”
About “The Shape of Things to Come,” the New York Times raved that “Casey is a stand-up philosopher posing the most vexing questions about human existence while satirizing the materialistic ways we find to hold our despair at a distance.”
She is an Associate Professor of English and teaches in the MFA Creative Writing Program at the University of Maryland. She also teaches in the low-residency MFA Program at Warren Wilson and was a faculty member at the Breadloaf Writers Conference in 2009.
She has received international fellowships from the Fundacion Valparaiso and the Hawthornden International Retreat for Writers, and is the recipient of the 2008 Calvino Prize and a 2008-2009 DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Artist Fellowship.
She lives in Washington, D.C. Visit her online at www.maudcasey.com.
