Timeline

1950

Desmond Hogan (born 10 December 1950) is an Irish writer.

1968

After leaving school, Hogan travelled to France, ending up in Paris just after the student riots of 1968.

1971

In 1971 he won the Hennessy Award.

The Irish Writers' Co-operative, formed by the writers Fred Johnston, Neil Jordan and playwright Peter Sheridan at a meeting in a Dublin restaurant, were to publish Hogan's The Ikon Maker, which was also the Co-op's first publication.

While in Dublin, he worked as a street actor and had a number of plays – A Short Walk to the Sea, Sanctified Distances, and The Squat – produced in the Abbey Theatre and the Project Arts Centre.

RTÉ and BBC Radio broadcast some of his plays, including Jimmy.

He also published stories in small magazines such as Adam and the Transatlantic Review.

Later he moved to London, living in Tooting, Catford and Hounslow and then later as a lodger in the Hampstead home of Anthony Farrell, a young Irish publisher.

Friends and acquaintances from this period included: writer Jaci Stephen, biographer Patrick Newley, Kazuo Ishiguro and his partner, Lorna.

Hogan also participated in poetry and literature readings held at Bernard Stone's Turrett Bookshop on Floral Street in Covent Garden.

1972

He later studied at University College Dublin (UCD), where he received a BA in 1972 and an MA in 1973.

1974

His debut novel, The Ikon-Maker, was written in 1974 and published in 1976.

It deals with a mother's unwilling recognition of her son's homosexuality.

1976

These travels together yielded a collection of travel writing, The Edge of the City: A Scrapbook 1976-1991, in 1993.

1977

Awarded the 1977 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and 1980 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, his oeuvre comprises novels, plays, short stories and travel writing.

The Cork Examiner said: "Like no other Irish writer just now, Hogan sets down what it's like to be a disturbed child of what seems a Godforsaken country in these troubled times."

The Irish Independent said he is "to be commended for the fidelity and affection he shows to the lonely and the downtrodden."

The Boston Globe said there "is something mannered in Hogan's prose, which is festooned with exotic imagery and scattered in sentence fragments."

A contemporary of Bruce Chatwin, Ian McEwan, Peter Carey, Salman Rushdie and a close friend of Kazuo Ishiguro, he has since vanished off the literary scene.

In 1977, he was the recipient of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, though this event remained undiscovered in America for several years until the Pittsburgh Press reported the revelation to its readers in 1981.

1978

In 1978, he participated in the Santa Cruz Writers Conference.

1980

In the early 1980s, Hogan was represented by Deborah Rogers' literary agency, which also had Peter Carey, Bruce Chatwin, Ian McEwan and Salman Rushdie on its books.

In 1980, he won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for his Diamonds at the Bottom of the Sea collection of short stories.

1981

In 1981, he appeared in Granta.

1989

In 1989, Hogan left London and was a Hudson Strode Fellow at the University of Alabama.

1991

In 1991, Hogan was awarded a place on the DAAD (German Academic Exchange) Berlin Artists' Programme fellowship which enabled him to live in that city.

It was in Berlin that he fell in love with a young man called Sammy (who died, apparently of AIDS-related illness, a few years later), with whom he travelled.

1995

After this, Hogan moved on to Prague, grief-stricken, where he wrote Farewell to Prague (1995).

Hogan returned to Ireland in 1995, living in Clifden, County Galway.

For a period, he lived in an old caravan in County Limerick along North Kerry/West Limerick border.

1997

In 1997, he lectured in short fiction at the University of California, San Diego.

2005

He was a judge in the 2005 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, worth €50,000.

Interested in history, painting, and traveller culture, he has used a typewriter since he was a child and finds the modern transition to computers difficult.
