Almost Complete Short Fiction by Stanley G. Weinbaum (ed. Jerry eBooks, 2020)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.1mb
Overview: STANLEY GRAUMAN WEINBAUM was born in Louisville, Kentucky on April 4, 1902, the son of Stella (née Grauman) and Nathan A. Weinbaum. His family was Jewish. He attended school in Milwaukee. He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison in Madison, first as a chemical engineering major but later switching to English as his major, but contrary to common belief he did not graduate. On a bet, Weinbaum took an exam for a friend, and was later discovered; he left the university in 1923.
Weinbaum’s interest in sf dated from his youth (he published “The Lost Battle” in a school magazine, The Mercury, in December 1917; it forecasts that World War One will end in 1921) but who did not begin to publish sf professionally until the 1930s (in 1933 he had sold a romantic novel, The Lady Dances, to King Features Syndicate, which serialized the story in its newspapers in early 1934). He is best known for the groundbreaking science fiction short story, “A Martian Odyssey”, which presented a sympathetic but decidedly non-human alien, Tweel. It is the oldest short story (and one of the top vote-getters) selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America for inclusion in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929–1964.
Stanley G. Weinbaum’s premature death from lung cancer robbed Genre SF of its most promising writer of the 1930s, the full measure of his ability only becoming apparent when his longer works began to appear posthumously.
