Biographical Note
Charles William Goyen, author, editor, and teacher, was born in Trinity,
Texas, on April 24, 1915 and moved with his family to Houston at the age of
eight. He received B.A. and M.A. degrees from Rice University (then Institute)
in 1937 and 1939, respectively. After teaching for one year at the University
of Houston, he left to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Returning
after five years, he left Houston to pursue his work as a writer, residing at
various times in New Mexico, Europe, New York, and California. His East Texas
origins, however, were to have an enduring influence on the speech patterns and
cultural characteristics reflected in his writings.
His first novel,
House of Breath, was
published to critical acclaim in 1950. Subsequent publications included the
novels
In a Farther Country
(1955),
The Fair Sister (1963),
and
Come the Restorer (1974);
Selected Writings (1974);
short story collections
Ghost and Flesh (1952),
The Faces of Blood Kindred
(1960) and
The Collected Stories
(1975); the non-fiction
A Book of Jesus (1973);
and plays
The House of Breath
(1956),
The Diamond Rattler
(1960),
Christy (1964),
House of Breath Black/White
(1971), and
Aimee (1973). He also
created lyrics for the film Left-Handed Gun (1958)
and served as translator for
The Lazy Ones by Egyptian
author Albert Cossery.
In addition to being a writer, he was instructor of English at the New
School for Social Research in New York City, 1955-60; Associate in English at
Columbia University, 1964-66; senior editor in the trade department at McGraw
Hill, 1966-71; and visiting Professor of English at Brown University, 1973. He
married the actress Doris Roberts in 1963.
Among awards he received were
music awards for words and music from the American Society of Composers,
Authors, and Publishers (A.S.C.A.P.) in 1964, 1965, 1968, 1970, and 1971; an
award from the Texas Institute of Arts and Letters, 1950; and the Distinguished
Alumnus Award from Rice University in 1977. He was a Guggenheim fellow in 1950
and 1952 and a Ford Foundation grantee in 1963-64. He died in Los Angeles of
leukemia in August 1983, two months before his novel
Arcadio was
published. Since then a number of his other late works have been edited and
published.
