Sull'Autore
Michael Blake was born Michael Lennox Webb in Fort Bragg, North Carolina on July 5, 1945. He joined the Air Force and was assigned to the public information office and began writing for the base newspaper. He attended the University of New Mexico before going to film school at the University of mostra altro California, Berkeley. One of his first screenplays, Stacy's Knights, was produced in 1983 and starred Kevin Costner. He continued to write scripts for the next several years, but nothing he wrote made it to the screen. After reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown, Blake had the idea for Dances with Wolves. Costner suggested he write a book instead of a screenplay. The book was published in 1988. Blake had just lost his job as a dishwasher when Costner asked him to adapt his own novel into a screenplay. The Dances with Wolves film was released in 1990. Blake received an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. His other novels included Airman Mortensen and The Holy Road. He died from heart failure on May 2, 2015 at the age of 69.

The Holy Road di Michael Blake
The first part of the book is great, like the first book was. Then it appears that the author got bored with his story, or else he died and the book was finished by someone else who had no vested interest in the story.
I do remember reading this, but it was so long ago. A nice easy read. The book was just as good as the movie. I mean, who doesn't love Kevin Costner? But, I have to admit, both were just a little slow.
I never knew their was a sequel to Dances With Wolves - Book #2 - The Holy Road (2004) until today...17 Feb 2021.

OK novel about white man among Indians and adopting their culture. The movie is not bad too, but in the book it's Comanches not the Lakota or Sioux.
