Biographical Information
Jessica Hagedorn was born in Manila, Philippines in 1949 and immigrated to the United States at the age of 14 to live in San
Francisco with her family. Her mother's background is Scotch-Irish-French Filipino and her father is considered Filipino-Spanish,
although his great grandmother was Chinese.
Hagedorn studied at the American Conservatory Theater and published her first book of poems in 1972 at the age of twenty.
Hagedorn continued writing poetry including
Dangerous Music and
Danger and Beauty while she was the lead singer and songwriter for the performance rock group, The West Coast Gangster Choir (later simplified
to The Gangster Choir). She is also the editor of
Charlie Chan is Dead: An Anthology of Contemporary Asian-American Fiction and
Charlie Chan is Dead 2: At Home in the World. She wrote the screenplay for the film
Fresh Kill, directed by Shu Lea Cheang. She was also closely involved with the animated short series "Pink Palace" which explored issues
that an adolescent Filipino girl might have to deal with after emigrating to the United States.
Around 1978 Hagedorn moved to New York to build on her skills and experience as a novelist, playwright and musician. In 1988
Hagedorn returned to the Philippines to finish her first novel,
Dogeaters, which after being published in 1990 received the American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. Hagedorn currently
lives in New York with her husband and two daughters and continues to write about her interest in issues surrounding the Filipino
American's struggle to find a place between two cultures.
