Autorenporträt

Alfred Elton van Vogt (April 26, 1912 - January 26, 2000) was a Canadian-born science fiction author regarded as one of the most popular, influential, and complex science fiction writers of the mid-twentieth century: the Golden Age of the genre. He was the recipient of the "Casper Award" (precursor to the Canadian Prix Aurora Awards) for Lifetime Achievement in 1980, and in 1995 The Science Fiction Writers of America named him its 14th Grand Master. He also received a Special Award from the World Science Fiction Convention "for six decades of golden age science fiction" in 1996, and was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame that same year.
