Brutal Novel Of U.S. Slavery
By JOHN LUFF
American critic re viewing "Mandingo,** epnsidered. this book of Kyle Onstolt's to be the great novel on slivery. Obviously, when reading a
| book of 'this' kind, one's mind naturally associates' the theme of the novel with "Uncle Tanta Cabin," that contmy old sentimental account of slavery, which had nevertheless, con- alderable effect.
But there, all similarity codeck. Uncle Tom's Cabin, with its dying angel child and weeping alaves is merely a bed-lime story" com→ pared with the stark livi brutality of “Mandingo""
Mr Onslotb has performed much research; his incidents bavo the stamp of authenticity: his wealmness is to repeal his statements, undoubtedly due to his readers querying what he relates.
The sum tela of the novel is, howhere in any record does there obear so devastating an account of man'a Iappmanitý to A.
"Mandingo" tells me some thing I never knew. When world opinion had stampet out 'the traffic in slaves, the Southern States of America setup slud forms where the poor creatures were" bred for the slave market. That is the simple estabilahed
