William Tenn (1920-2010)
William Tenn was the pseudonym of British-born academic and writer
Philip Klass. He was born in London, to American parents, and he spent
most of his life in the United States, teaching writing and SF at
Pennsylvania State College from 1966. He began writing after serving in
the Second World War and published his first story, 'Alexander the Bait'
in Astounding Science Fiction in 1946. Stories like 'Down Among the Dead
Men', 'The Liberation of Earth' and 'The Custodian' quickly established
him as a fine, funny and thoughtful satirist. In 1999 William Tenn was
selected the Science Fiction Writers of America's Author Emeritus. He
died in 2010.
