Helen Benedict is an American novelist and journalist, best known for her writings on social injustice and the Iraq War. ==Biography== Benedict was born in London, England, to parents who were American anthropologists. As a child, she lived in Mauritius and Seychelles, where her parents conducted fieldwork. Seychelles became the setting for Benedict’s novel, ''The Edge of Eden''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Edge of Eden by Helen Benedict )〕 Her background as a child of anthropologists has informed her work both as a novelist and a journalist. Benedict grew up partly in London, partly in California, and attended university in both England and the United States. She worked for newspapers in both countries, and obtained her master's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1979. She first began to publish in the United States that year and into the 1980s, with profiles of Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer and New York writer Leonard Michaels, later collected in her anthology, ''Portraits in Print''. The anthology also contained Benedict’s magazine profiles of Susan Sontag, Joseph Brodsky, Bernard Malamud and Paule Marshall. In 1981, Benedict moved to New York, where she freelanced for five years, publishing short stories and articles in literary journals, magazines and newspapers. She began teaching at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in 1986, where she is now a full-time professor. Benedict’s works have been translated and published in Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Portugal.
