Si Nestor Vicente Madali Gonzalez (1915-1999), kilala bilang N.V.M. Gonzalez, ay isang makata, guro, at Pambansang Alagad ng Sining sa Panitikan. Isa siya sa mga pinakakilala na manunulat sa Pilipinas. Makikita sa kaniyang mga akda ang buhay ng mga Pilipino, hindi lamang sa bansa, ngunit maging sa buong mundo.

Buhay

Nag-aral siya sa Mindoro High School mula 1927 hanggang 1930 at bagaman na pumasok siya sa National University sa Maynila, hindi siya nagtamo nang anumang titulo. Habang nasa Maynila, nagsulat si Gonzalez sa Philippine Graphic at kinalaunan ay sa Evening News Magazine at Manila Chronicle. Ang una niyang naisulat na sanaysay ay nailathala sa Philippine Graphic at ang kaniyang unang tula ay lumabas naman sa Poetry noong 1934.

Dahil nagawaran siya ng Rockefeller Foundation grant noong 1948, nakapunta si Gonzalez sa Standford University sa Palo Alto at sa California; at Columbia University sa New York. Habang nasa Stanford, dumalo siya sa ilang leksyon at klase ng ilang mga prominenteng manunulat tulad nina Wallace Stegner at Katherine Anne Porter.

Pagbalik ni Gonzalez sa Pilipinas, naging propesor siya sa Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas, Philippine Women's University at sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas kung saan namalagi siya ng 18 na taon. Naging kasapi siya ng Board of Advisers ng Likhaan at naging unang presidente ng Philippine Writer's Association.

Nagpatuloy siya ng pagtuturo nang bumalik siya sa California noong 1960 at naging propesor sa University of California sa Santa Barbara at professor emeritus ng California State University, Hayward.
