Biography
Paul Murray is an Irish novelist, essayist, and screenwriter born in 1975. His debut novel An Evening of Long Goodbyes (2003) established his precise, digressive voice; Skippy Dies (2010) solidified his reputation as a chronicler of contemporary Irish malaise and adolescent anguish. He followed with The Mark and the Void (2015), a formally inventive satire of finance and meaning, and The Bee Sting (2023), his most recent novel. Murray also wrote the screenplay for Metal Heart, expanding his range beyond prose. As an occupation, screenwriting demands both narrative economy and visual storytelling; Murray balances this with the expansive, essayistic mode of his fiction. Born under Capricorn, he reflects the sign's affinity for dry wit, structural rigor, and unflinching social observation. His life-path number 6 aligns with a creative vocation rooted in exploring human connection and domestic complexity. Based in Ireland, Murray's work is deeply attuned to Irish social texture and intellectual humor, positioning him among the most significant Irish writers of his generation.
