What is a biography of N. V. M. Gonzalez?

Nestor Vicente Madali Gonzalez, often known simply as N.V.M., was an internationally famed Filipino teacher and writer of novels, short stories, and essays. During his long and distinguished career, he received many awards. In 1997, near the end of his life, he was proclaimed a National Artist of the Philippines.
N.V.M. Gonzalez was born in Romblon, Philippines, on September 8, 1915, but soon after, when Gonzalez was five, his family moved to the town of Mansalay in the province of Mindoro. His father was a teacher and a school supervisor. From 1927 to 1930, Gonzalez went to Mindoro High School. He then studied at the National University in Manila but did not receive a degree. Later in life, he had a long teaching career at the University of the Philippines, and he was only one of two people ever permitted to teach there without first earning a degree.
In the 1930s, Gonzalez began publishing essays and poetry in the Philippine Graphic and Poetry. He also edited for the Manila Chronicle and the Evening News Magazine. Among his most renowned books are the novels The Winds of April and A Season of Grace, short story collection Children of the Ash-Covered Loam and Other Stories, and the essay collection Work on the Mountain.
In 1948, Gonzalez received a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship that enabled him to attend Columbia University and Stanford University, where he studied writing under famous authors such as Katherine Anne Porter and Wallace Stegner. In the 1960s, he returned to the United States and taught at numerous universities, including U.C.L.A., U.C. Santa Barbara, U.C. Berkeley, California State University, and the University of Washington.
Gonzalez's books have been published in English, Filipino, Russian, Chinese, Indonesian, and German. The many awards he received included an honorary doctorate from the University of the Philippines in 1987, the National Artist Award for Literature in 1997, and the Centennial Award for Literature in 1998.
N.V.M. Gonzalez died of kidney problems on November 28, 1999, when he was 84 years old. Because he was a National Artist of the Philippines, he received a state funeral.
