マキシーン・ホン・キングストン（Maxine Hong Kingston）- 小説家、随筆家

略歴（Biography）

マキシーン・ホン・キングストンは、中国系米国人の家族、記憶、言葉を描く作家。カリフォルニアで育ち、ハワイでの生活を経て、カリフォルニア大学バークリー校で長く創作を教えた。『チャイナタウンの女武者』（原題 “The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts”）では、母から聞いた物語、中国の伝承、自身の少女時代を重ね、移民家庭の女性として語る声を探った。同書は全米批評家協会賞を受賞した。『チャイナ・メン』（原題 “China Men”）では、父や祖先の物語を、労働と移民の歴史へと広げ、全米図書賞を受賞した。『The Fifth Book of Peace』（未邦訳）では、火災で失った原稿と家、戦争の記憶、退役軍人との執筆活動を結びつけた。家族の伝承と公的な歴史、回想と創作を行き来しながら、排除された経験をどのように言葉にするかを考察した。

Maxine Hong Kingston is a writer of family, memory and language in Chinese American experience. Raised in California, she lived in Hawaii and later taught creative writing for many years at UC Berkeley. The Woman Warrior combined stories heard from her mother, Chinese traditions and memories of girlhood to investigate a woman's voice in an immigrant family. It won the National Book Critics Circle Award. China Men extended stories of fathers and ancestors into histories of migration and labor and won the National Book Award. The Fifth Book of Peace connected a manuscript and home lost to fire with wartime memory and writing alongside veterans. Kingston moved between family storytelling, public history, memoir and fiction to investigate how excluded experiences become speakable.
