Thomas Keneally Biography
Thomas Keneally was born on October 7, 1935. The protagonists in Keneally’s works are haunted by their pasts, both personal and historical, and moral people are shown to be at odds with established authorities.
The early works of The Place at Whitton and Three Cheers for the Paraclete author Thomas Keneally were impacted by his time spent at a Roman Catholic seminary when he was 17 years old. Bring Larks and Heroes, depicting Australia’s time as an English prison colony cemented its status as a historical fiction. Keneally received widespread praise for his novel The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, which is inspired by the true story of a half-caste Aboriginal who goes on a killing rampage in response to white bigotry.
