  • جايل جونز ولدت في (23 نوفمبر 1949) كاتبة أمريكية منمدينة ليكسينجتون ، ولاية كنتاكي. وهي معروفة كشخصية رئيسية في الأدب الأفريقي الأمريكي في القرن العشرين. تفترض إيماني بيري أن جونز هي «واحدة من أكثر الكتاب تنوعا وتحولا في القرن العشرين» بينما يصفها كالفن بيكر بأنها «أفضل روائية أمريكية قد لا تعرف اسمها.» نشرت جونز روايتها الأولى Corregidora في سن 25. لاقى الكتاب، الذي حرره توني موريسون، بإشادة من النقاد وأشاد به كبار المفكرين بمن فيهم جيمس بالدوين وجون أبدايك. حظيت روايتها في السنة الثانية «رجل حواء» بشهرة أقل واتصفت بأنها «خطيرة» من بعض النقاد لتصويرها الخام للقسوة والعنف. واستمرت جونز في النشر في أواخر التسعينيات، حيث أصدرت (The Healing الشفاء) و (Mosquito الباعوضة) - الذي تم ترشيحه في القائمة المختصرة لجائزة الكتاب الوطني. بعد انتحار زوجها في عام 1998، انسحبت جونز من الحياة العامة. في عام 2021، نشرت أول عمل لها منذ 22 عامًا (بالماريس Palmares). كان أحد المرشحين النهائيين لجائزة بوليتزر للخيال لعام 2022.

  • Gayl Jones (born November 23, 1949) is an American writer from Lexington, Kentucky. She is recognized as a key figure in 20th-century African-American literature. Imani Perry posits Jones as "one of the most versatile and transformative writers of the 20th century" while Calvin Baker describes her as "The Best American Novelist Whose Name You May Not Know." In The Guardian newspaper, Yara Rodrigues Fowler stated: "Gayl Jones is a literary legend. In novels and poetry, she has reimagined the lives of Black women across North, South and Central America, living in different centuries, in a way no other writer has done." Jones published her debut novel, Corregidora (1975), at the age of 25. The book, edited by Toni Morrison, was met with critical acclaim and praised by leading intellectuals including James Baldwin and John Updike. Her sophomore novel was met with less renown and characterized as "dangerous" by some critics for its raw depiction of cruelty and violence. Jones continued publishing in the late 1990s, releasing and Mosquito—the former of which was shortlisted for the National Book Award. Following her husband's widely reported suicide in 1998, Jones withdrew from public life. In 2021, she published Palmares, her first novel in 22 years. It was a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. (en)
