Nissenson's father immigrated to the United States from Warsaw in 1910, working in a sweatshop sweater factory and later as a salesman. His mother, born Harriette Dolch, was born in Brooklyn to immigrant parents from Lvov, Poland.〔 After attending the Fieldston School in The Bronx, New York, Nissenson attended Swarthmore College, graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1955. He worked briefly as a copy boy at the New York Times, but was encouraged by his mother to pursue his love of fiction. Nissenson spent time in Israel in the 1950s and 1960s, reporting on the Adolf Eichmann trial for Commentary magazine, and spending time in kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch, which formed the basis for his 1968 ''Notes from the Frontier''. In 1976, Nissenson published his first novel, ''My Own Ground''. Nissenson died on December 13, 2013 at his home in Manhattan, New York. He was survived by his wife Marilyn and two daughters Kate and Kore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugh Nissenson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
