A Capricorn born in winter, deWitt favors introspection and structural precision in his work.
★ FEATURE
Biography
Patrick deWitt is a novelist and screenwriter who splits his practice between long-form fiction and film. Born in 1975 on Vancouver Island and now based in Portland, Oregon, deWitt holds American citizenship. His debut Ablusions (2009) announced a writer unafraid of moral murk; The Sisters Brothers (2011) became his breakthrough, a Western that inverted the genre's heroic myths. Undermajordomo Minor (2015) followed with darkly comic family reckoning, French Exit (2018) layered ghostly intrigue with class critique, and The Librarianist (2023) cemented his reputation for intellectual rigor and narrative surprise. As a screenwriter, he brings the same structural discipline to adaptation and original work. Numerologically a Life Path 6, deWitt embodies the archetype of the responsible craftsperson—meticulous, compassionate toward flawed characters, and devoted to the architecture of storytelling. A Capricorn, he channels the sign's trademark patience and dark humor into novels that reward rereading.
