General info :
D. Keith Mano (born February 12, 1942 in New York City, USA - died 14 september 2016, in Manhattan, New York, USA (aged 74)) was a novelist and writer.

Mano D. Keith was born on February 12, 1942 in New York City. Son of William F. Mano and Marion Elizabeth (Minor) Koehler.

In his novels he explored the problems and passions of Christianity in the modern world.

Mr. Mano (pronounced MAN-o) was an unpredictable, idiosyncratic figure on the literary scene. A conservative Christian with a deep interest in human sexuality, he made an immediate splash with his first novel, “Bishop’s Progress” (1968), in which the Episcopal bishop of Queens enters the hospital and engages in moral struggle with his surgeon, who turns out to be Beelzebub.

More novels followed in rapid succession, one a year.

“Take Five” (1982) was Mr. Mano’s tour de force, nearly 600 backward-numbered pages that traced the terminal decline of Simon Lynxx, a New York filmmaker of outsize dimensions.

He served as Vice president of X-Pando Corporation, Long Island City from 1964 to 1986 and was a contributing editor to the National Review Magazine in New York City since 1972.
He also was the book editor at Esquire Magazine in New York City from 1972 to 1973.

Mano D. Keith served as contributing editor to Playboy magazine since 1980, reviewed movies and books, and and has written eight novels with religious/ethical themes.

D. Keith Mano graduated summa cum laude as a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University in 1963. Then, while in England as a visiting Fellow in English at Clare College, Cambridge, he toured as an actor with the Marlowe Society. He returned to America as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow at Columbia and went on to appear in several off-Broadway productions and toured with the National Shakespeare Company. In 1979, he left the Episcopal church and joined the the Eastern Orthodox.

Mano married Jo Margaret McArthur on 3 August 1964, and they had two children before their divorce in 1979.

The cause of his death was complications of Parkinson’s disease, his wife, the actress Laurie Kennedy, said.
