Lois McMaster Bujold ( ; born November 2, 1949) is an American speculative fiction writer.〔 She is one of the most acclaimed writers in her field, having won the Hugo Award for best novel four times, matching Robert A. Heinlein's record, not counting his Retro Hugo. Her novella ''The Mountains of Mourning'' won both the Hugo Award and Nebula Award. In the fantasy genre, ''The Curse of Chalion'' won the Mythopoeic Award for Adult Literature and was nominated for the 2002 World Fantasy Award for best novel, and both her fourth Hugo Award and second Nebula Award were for ''Paladin of Souls''. In 2011 she was awarded the Skylark Award. In 2013 she was awarded the Forry Award. The bulk of Bujold's works comprise three separate book series: the Vorkosigan Saga, the Chalion Series, and the Sharing Knife series. ==Biography== Bujold is the daughter of Robert Charles McMaster〔cf. a (Memorial Tribute ) in his honor〕 and attributes her early interest in science fiction, as well as certain aspects of the Vorkosigan Saga, to his influence. He was editor of the monumental ''Nondestructive Testing Handbook'' generally referred to as ''McMaster on Materials''. Bujold writes that her experience growing up with a world-famous father is reflected in the same experience that her characters (Miles, Fiametta) have of growing up in the shadow of a "Great Man". Having observed this tendency in both genders, she wonders why it is always called "great man's son syndrome", and never "great man's daughter's syndrome." Her brother, an engineer like their father, helped provide technical details to support her writing of ''Falling Free''.〔Bujold, Lois McMaster. Forward to Miles, Mutants, Microbes Omnibus edition, paragraphs 11 & 13〕 She became a member of science fiction fandom, joined the Central Ohio Science Fiction Society, and co-published ''StarDate'', a science fiction fanzine in which a story of hers appeared under the byline Lois McMaster. Bujold currently lives in Minnesota. She is divorced and has two children. 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「Lois McMaster Bujold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
