Shirley Hazzard (born 30 January 1931) is an Australian author of fiction and non-fiction. She was born in Australia, but holds citizenship of the United Kingdom and the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Shirley Hazzard with Sally Loane ) 〕 Her 1970 novel, ''The Bay of Noon'', was shortlisted for the Lost Man Booker Prize in 2010〔 〕 and her 2003 novel ''The Great Fire'' won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction.〔 ("National Book Awards – 2003" ). National Book Foundation. Retrieved 2012-03-27. (With acceptance speech by Hazzard, introduction by Antonya Nelson (dead link 2012-03-27), and essays by Julie Barer and Cecily Patterson from the Awards 60-year anniversary blog.)〕 ==Life== Hazzard was born in Sydney and attended Queenwood School for Girls in Mosman, but left in 1947 to travel through Southeast Asia with her parents. Her first landing was Hiroshima.〔Lawson (2004) p. 31〕 Her diplomat father took her to Hong Kong, and then she was "brutally removed by destiny"〔cited by Lawson (2004) p. 31〕 to New Zealand where her father was Australian Trade Commissioner. Hazzard says of her experience of the East that "I began to feel that people could enjoy life, should enjoy life".〔 Hazzard's early life "was a carbon copy of Helen Driscoll's" (the heroine of ''The Great Fire''). Helen and her brother, the dying Benedict, are described as "wonderfully well-read, a poetic pair who live in literature."〔 Poetry, she says, has always been the centre of her life. She travelled to Italy in 1956, and worked for a year in Naples. In 1963, Hazzard married the writer Francis Steegmuller, who died in 1994. As of 2006, she lives in New York City, frequently travelling to her Italian residence in Capri. 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「Shirley Hazzard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
