Kyle Onstott (January 12, 1887 in Du Quoin, Illinois – June 1, 1966)〔(Kyle Onstott profile, Good Reads. )〕 was an American novelist, known for his best-selling novel ''Mandingo'' (1957), which deals with slavery on an Alabama plantation with the fictional name of Falconhurst in the 1830s. The book was made into a 1961 play〔(【引用サイトリンク】Playbill">title=Mandingo )〕 and film of the same name, which was released in 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The New York Times">title=Mandingo )〕 Onstott was originally a dog breeder and judge in regional dog shows, living in California with his widowed mother in the early 1900s. Having collaborated with his adopted son on a book about dog breeding, he decided to write a book that would make him rich. "Utilizing his son's anthropology research on West Africa, he handwrote ''Mandingo'' and his son served as editor. Denlinger's, a small Virginia publisher, released it and it became a national sensation."〔Article by Rudy Maxa, "The Master of Mandingo", ''The Washington Post'', July 13, 1975.〕 A sequel and a series of other novels followed, mostly written with Lance Horner. ==Works== * ''The New Art of Breeding Better Dogs'' (with Philip Onstott) * ''Mandingo'' * ''The Black Sun'' * ''Child of the Sun'' * ''Falconhurst Fancy'' * ''Flight to Falconhurst'' * ''Master of Falconhurst'' * ''The Tattooed Rood'' * ''Drum'' * ''Strange Harvest'' (with Ashley Carter) 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「Kyle Onstott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
