Autorenporträt

Catherine (C. L.) Moore, born in 1911, was the most significant woman in early 20th century fantastic literature. She was a friend and correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Leigh Brackett, and other luminaries of the period. Her stories, published throughout the 30s and 40s in Weird Tales, Astounding, and other popular pulp magazines, were instrumental in the development of modern fantasy, horror, and science fiction. Much of her writing focused on the fantastic, although she also wrote in other genres. For most of her career, she worked in close collaboration with her first husband, Henry Kuttner, a well-regarded author in his own right. Together they wrote hundreds of novels, short stories, and scripts for film, television, and radio under numerous pen names (including the story Mimsy Were The Borogoves, recently adapted as a major motion picture). After Henry's tragic death in 1958, she continued to write for television shows (under the name Catherine Kuttner), including Sugarfoot, The Alaskans, Maverick, and 77 Sunset Strip. Upon remarrying in 1963, she ceased writing altogether. Acclaimed as a Grand Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy, she was honored with the Bram Stoker Award and the World Fantasy Award, and is an inductee of the Science Fiction Hall Of Fame. She died in 1987.
