Louis Kaye was the pseudonym of Noel Wilson Norman (14 July 1901 - 19 April 1981), an Australian novelist and short story writer. He also published short stories under the names Grant Doyle Cooper and James Linnel. He was born in Claremont, Tasmania to a well-connected Lindisfarne family but was more interested in an adventurous outback life than one of business and politics. From 1917 he was to make frequent forays into the Western Australian bush to experience first-hand life in the bush and deserts of outback Australia. His experience of aboriginal life was augmented by reading the works of anthropologist Baldwin Spencer.〔 〕 He was already a successful contributor of short stories to overseas magazines in 1931 when he wrote his first novel, ''Tybal Men'', set in a WA sheep station. He is regarded as giving a realistic depiction of bush life and aboriginal culture, though criticised for emulating the "violent excesses of the American cowboy novel".〔(''Sydney Morning Herald'' 24 November 1933 )〕 His brother Don (Donald Manners Thirkell) Norman (24 April 1909 - 10 March 2001) was a writer (e.g. ''Errol Flynn : the Tasmanian story'' W.N. Hurst and E.L. Metcalf, Hobart c1981 ISBN 0-9594146-0-6) and historian. ==Short stories== A partial list of Kaye's short stories includes:〔(FictionMags website )〕 *''Off the Trail'' in ''Everybody’s Magazine'' May 1927 *''The Gold Carriers'' in ''Everybody’s Magazine'' Nov 1927 *''The Tracks of Sonya'' in ''The Passing Show'' Oct 1 1932 *''The Lee Rail'' in ''The Australian Journal'' May 1937 〔(''Camperdown Chronicle'' 20 May 1937 )〕 *''Widow’s Cruise'' in ''The Passing Show'' Sep 25 1937 *''Well - Let’s Laugh!'' in ''The Passing Show'' Jan 22 1938 *''Strange Ones'' in ''The Passing Show'' Feb 19 1938 *''Boomerang'' in ''London Evening News'' Jul 28 1938 *''Old Man Kangaroo'' in ''Adventure'' Jun 1940 *''Walk to Glory'' in ''The Saturday Evening Post'' Nov 2 1940 *''Desert Gold'' in ''Blue Book'' Jan 1941 *''The Brumby Car'' in ''Colliers'' Feb 20 1943 *''Kangaroo Rifle'' in ''Blue Book'' May 1945 *''Mark of Brotherhood'' in ''Blue Book'' Aug 1945 *''Back Country Boy'' in ''Blue Book'' Apr 1948 *''By the Last Fires'' in ''Short Stories'' May 1950 *''The Necklet'' in ''Short Stories'' Oct 1950 *''The Storm Strip'' in ''Blue Book'' Feb 1951 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「Louis Kaye (author)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
