John Treadwell Nichols (born July 23, 1940, Berkeley, California) is an American novelist. ==Biography== Nichols is the author of the "New Mexico trilogy", a series about the complex relationship between history, race and ethnicity, and land and water rights in the fictional Chamisaville County, New Mexico. The trilogy consists of ''The Milagro Beanfield War'' (which was adapted into a movie of the same title directed by Robert Redford), ''The Magic Journey'', and ''The Nirvana Blues''. Two of his other novels have been made into films. ''The Wizard of Loneliness'' was published in 1966 and the film version with Lukas Haas was made in 1988. Another successful movie adaptation was of ''The Sterile Cuckoo'', which was published in 1965 and was filmed by Alan J. Pakula in 1969. He also had an important but uncredited hand - due to a Writers Guild arbitration decision - in the Oscar-winning Best Adapted Screenplay for Costa-Gavras' 1982 film, ''Missing''. Nichols has also written non-fiction, including the trilogy ''If Mountains Die'', ''The Last Beautiful Days of Autumn'' and ''On the Mesa''. John Nichols has lived in Taos, New Mexico for many years. He is the subject of a documentary ''The Milagro Man: The Irrepressible Multicultural Life and Literary Times of John Nichols'', which premiered at the 2012 Albuquerque Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Absolutely Irrepressible Multicultural Life and Literary Times of John Nichols )〕 He is the grandson of ichthyologist John Treadwell Nichols and a first cousin of Massachusetts politician William Weld. 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「John Nichols (writer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
