Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox writer Catherine Gilbert Murdock (born 1967) is an American author.
Early life and education
Catherine Gilbert Murdock was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1967.[1] Her father was a chemical engineer, her mother a nurse.[2] Along with her only sibling, novelist Elizabeth Gilbert, she grew up on a small family Christmas tree farm in Litchfield, Connecticut. The family lived in the country with no neighbors and had a very old TV.[1] Consequently, they all read a great deal.
She attended Bryn Mawr College, where she studied Growth and Structure of Cities and graduated in 1988. In 1998, she earned a doctorate in American Civilization from the University of Pennsylvania.[3][4]
Career
Murdock's first published book was her dissertation from the University of Pennsylvania, published three years after she graduated as Domesticating Drink: Women, Men and Alcohol in Prohibition America. Her first young adult novel was Dairy Queen (2006), which was followed by two sequels: The Off Season (2007) and Front and Center (2009). Her 2013 book Heaven Is Paved with Oreos is set in the same world and features some of the same characters.[5] Other books include Princess Ben: Being a Wholly Truthful Account of Her Various Discoveries and Misadventures, Recounted to the Best of Her Recollection, in Four Parts (2008), and Wisdom's Kiss: A Thrilling and Romantic Adventure, Incorporating Magic, Villainy and a Cat (2011).[4] In 2018, she published a middle-grade novel called The Book of Boy, which was a Newbery Honor book.[6]
In 2011 she appeared in and served as a program advisor for Prohibition on PBS.[7]
Personal life
She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and two children.[4]
