Autorenporträt

Don Congdon (1918-2009) was a successful editor literary agent. He edited many serious paperback anthologies of mystery and horror stories, tales of romance and war reporting, including "The Wild Sweet Wine: Superb Stories of Sensual Love" (1959)," Stories for the Dead of Night" (1957) and "Combat: Pacific Theater, World War II" (1959). Don Congdon began his career as an editor at Collier's and then Simon and Schuster, and in 1947 set up his own literary agency. One of his first clients was Ray Bradbury, who also became a very close friend and whose book "Fahrenheit 451" was dedicated to Congdon. Merle Miller (1919-1986) was an American writer, novelist, and best-selling author whose career spanned several decades. Famous for an article in the New York Times Magazine on January 17, 1971, titled "What It Means to Be a Homosexual", which, with additional material, was then published later that year as a book, Mr. Miller became a spokesman for the gay rights movement. His other works of non-fiction include We Dropped the A-Bomb (1946), a book he wrote in collaboration with Abe Spitzer, a radioman who was on one of the three B-29s that dropped the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and his best-selling classic post war novel was That Winter (1948).
