Timothy Martin Gautreaux (born 1947〔(Timothy Gautreaux on Peoplesearch.com ), retrieved 11 March 2009.〕 in Morgan City, Louisiana〔Christopher Scanlan, (Timothy Gautreaux ) in ''Creative Loafing: New & Views Beta'' (Atlanta), 17 June 2004.〕) is a novelist and short story writer who lives in Hammond, Louisiana, where he is Writer in Residence at Southeastern Louisiana University.〔(Faculty listing for Tim Gautreaux at Southeastern. )〕 His writing has appeared in The New Yorker,〔http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2009/06/22/090622fi_fiction_gautreaux?currentPage=all〕 ''Best American Short Stories'', ''Atlantic'', ''Harper's'', and ''GQ''. His novel ''The Next Step in the Dance'' won the 1999 SEBA Book Award.〔See Scanlan, ''supra''.〕 His novel ''The Clearing'' won the 1999 (Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance ) SIBA Book Award〔(1999 SIBA Book Award Winners. )〕 and the 2003 Mid-South Independent Booksellers Association Award.〔Chapman, ''supra''.〕 He also won the 2005 John Dos Passos Prize. Gautreaux also authored Same Place, Same Things and Welding with Children—collections of short stories. His 2009 novel ''The Missing'' was described as his "best yet" by New Orleans ''Times-Picayune'' book editor Susan Larson in a featured article.〔Susan Larson, (A storied career ) in ''Times-Picayune'' (New Orleans), 11 March 2009, pp. A1, C1, C3 (blog version = (Novelist Tim Gautreaux is river bound in "The Missing"). ) See also Greg Langley, (Gautreaux examines cosmology of loss in ''The Missing'' ) in the Baton Rouge ''Advocate'', 22 March 2009, p. 3E (web site accessed 22 March 2009).〕 Gautreaux notes that his family’s blue-collar background has been a significant influence on his writing. His father was a tugboat captain, and his grandfather was a steamboat engineer. Given those influences, he says, “I pride myself in writing a ‘broad-spectrum’ fiction, fiction that appeals to both intellectuals and blue-collar types. Many times I’ve heard stories of people who don’t read short stories, or people who have technical jobs, who like my fiction.” 〔''Conversations'' 65.〕 In addition, Gautreaux has made clear that he is not interested in being classified as a "Southern writer," preferring instead to say that he is a "writer who happens to live in the South."〔''Conversations'' 123.〕 He is much more comfortable embracing his Roman Catholicism, saying, "I've always been a Roman Catholic, since baptism, since birth."〔''Conversations'' 137.〕 Gautreaux is married to Winborne Howell Gautreaux; the couple has two grown sons—Robert Timothy Gautreaux and Thomas Martin Gautreaux.〔See information from Peoplesearch.com and Scanlan, ''supra''.〕 ==References== 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「Tim Gautreaux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
