Autorenporträt

Thorne Smith, born James Thorne Smith Jr. on March 27, 1892, was a prolific American writer of humorous supernatural fantasy fiction. Best known for his Topper novels, which were adapted into a successful film series and television show, Smith's work was marked by a combination of wit, romance, and the supernatural, appealing greatly to the audiences of the early to mid-20th century. 'Did She Fall?', one of his lesser-known works, is characteristic of his literary style, blending elements of mystery with the light-hearted comedy for which Smith is famed. This novel, like many others in his oeuvre, provides a satirical take on the societal norms of his time, endearing readers with its whimsical narrative and memorable characters. Smith's body of work takes readers into a world where the magical and the mundane comically intertwine, creating an escape from the grimmer aspects of reality. As a contributor to the burgeoning genre of fantasy humor, Smith's novels remain a testament to his unique talent for combining laughter with the fantastic. He passed away at the peak of his career, on June 21, 1934, but his literary legacy continues to enchant and entertain readers to this day.
