Autorenporträt
Fritz Reuter Leiber Jr. (December 24, 1910 - September 5, 1992) was a fantasy, horror, and science fiction author from the United States. He was also a poet, stage and film actor, dramatist, and chess master. Leiber, along with Robert E. Howard and Michael Moorcock, is considered one of the fathers of sword and sorcery and created the term. Fritz Leiber was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 24, 1910, to actors Fritz Leiber and Virginia Bronson Leiber. For a time, he appeared to be following in his parents' footsteps; the theater and performers appear in his novels. He spent 1928 touring with his parents' Shakespeare company (Fritz Leiber & Co.) before enrolling at the University of Chicago, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and graduated with honors with an undergraduate Ph.B. degree in psychology and physiology or biology in 1932. From 1932 to 1933, he worked as a lay reader and studied as a candidate for the ministry at the General Theological Seminary in Chelsea, Manhattan, an Episcopal Church affiliate.
