The Mind Creative
Fredric Brown (Oct 29,1906–March 11, 1972)
was an American science fiction and mystery
writer. He was born in Cincinnati. He is perhaps
best known for his use of humour and for his
mastery of the "short short" form - stories of 1
to 3 pages, often with ingenious plotting devices
and surprise endings. Humour and a somewhat
postmodern outlook carried over into his novels
as well. One of his stories, "Arena," is officially
credited for an adaptation as an episode of the
landmark television series, Star Trek.
