Gerard Donovan (born 1959), is an acclaimed Irish-born novelist, photographer and poet living in Plymouth, England, working as a lecturer at the University of Plymouth. ==Career== Donovan attracted immediate critical acclaim with his debut novel ''Schopenhauer's Telescope'', which was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize in 2003,〔The Booker Prize Foundation. (The Man Booker Prize Official Website ): 2003.〕 and which won the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award in 2004.〔(Library Thing Website )〕 His subsequent novels include ''Doctor Salt'' (2005), ''Julius Winsome'' (2006), and ''Sunless'' (2007). However, ''Sunless'' is essentially a rewritten version of ''Doctor Salt''—ultimately very different from the earlier novel, but built upon the same basic narrative elements—of which Donovan has said: "''Doctor Salt''... was a first draft of ''Sunless''. I wrote (Salt'' ) too fast, and the sense I was after just wasn't in the novel. ... I saw the chance to write the real novel, if you like, (''Doctor Salt'' was due to be published in the United States in 2007 ) and this I hope I've done in ''Sunless''."〔Donovan, Gerard. (Interview by Jane Ciabattari ). ''Critical Mass'': 7 August 2007.〕 Before writing prose, Donovan published three collections of poetry: ''Columbus Rides Again'' (1992), ''Kings and Bicycles'' (1995), and ''The Lighthouse'' (2000).〔(Gerard Donovan: Author Profile ). ''Fantastic Fiction'': 2007.〕 His next publication will be a collection of short stories set in Ireland, followed by a novel set in early twentieth-century Europe which he is writing.〔Donovan, Gerard. (Interview by Mark Thwaite ). ''The Book Depository'': 2007.〕
