Patrick Colm Hogan is the author of "The Death of the Goddess: A Poem in Twelve Cantos" (2014), a book-length, narrative poem based on Hindu Goddess myths, as well as lyric poems and short fiction, published in such outlets as Minnesota review, The Journal of Irish Literature, and the Journal of Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies. A Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Connecticut, he is the author of twenty-seven scholarly and interpretive books, most of which treat postcolonial or world literature. Hogan has regularly taught courses in postcolonial literature (often with a focus on Africa), as well as courses on the pre-colonial and postcolonial literary traditions of India and China. In keeping with these interests, he has worked to acquire at least some knowledge of French, German, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Hindi, Mandarin, and Sanskrit. "A People Without Shame" is his first novel. "A People Without Shame" is an artistic triumph composed by a master craftsman whose courageous eye makes all too vivid the abundant horrors suffered by beautiful people and their culture at the hands of soul-dead colonizers eager to extinguish them. Patrick Colm Hogan is – as Kurosawa says an artist must be – one who does not look away. Inside this grand and ambitious novel beats an urgent and epic dirge written with magic enough to awaken our collective humanity to the poetry preserved in the raging hearts of people whose stories refuse to die. – Matt Cashion, author of "Last Words of the Holy Ghost"
