George Michael Cuomo (born 1929 in New York City, died October 26, 2015) is an American author of eight novels, as well as short stories, poetry, and a nonfiction book. ==Life== He attended Stuyvesant High School and earned a B.A. from Tufts University in 1952 in addition to an M.A. from Indiana University in 1955. Furthermore, Cuomo has taught at the University of Arizona, the University of California, University of Victoria in British Columbia, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.〔http://www.umass.edu/provost/award/national/honor.html〕 His work appeared in ''Antioch Review'',〔http://books.google.com/books?id=ZTIQAAAAIAAJ&q=George+Cuomo&dq=George+Cuomo&lr=&cd=31〕 ''Minnesota Review'',〔http://books.google.com/books?id=FDAQAAAAIAAJ&q=George+Cuomo&dq=George+Cuomo&lr=&cd=32〕 ''The Nation'',〔http://www.thenation.com/archive/detail/13210654〕 ''Saturday Review,'' ''Tamarack Review''.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=6PtXAAAAIAAJ&q=George+Cuomo&dq=George+Cuomo&lr=&cd=18〕 Cuomo's first novel, ''Jack be Nimble'', was published in 1963. The novel's eponymous narrator evokes (no doubt intentionally) the anti-hero of ''All the King's Men'', transplanted to the topsy-turvy world of collegiate football. His subsequent novels, which include ''Among Thieves'', ''Family Honor'', and ''Trial By Water'', engage troubling issues of race, class, and social justice. Cuomo's deeply fallible heroes tend to be people that genteel society would prefer to forget: a small-time criminal caught up in a brutal prison riot, a racial minority ensnared in a domestic terrorist plot. His name has been mentioned more than once in lists of unfairly neglected authors, for example by Richard Yates in ''Ploughshares''. His papers are held at University of Victoria.〔 *("George Cuomo fonds" ''University of Victoria, Special Collections'' )〕 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「George Michael Cuomo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
