Fredric Brown

Fredric Brown (1906-1972)

Fredric Brown (October 29, 1906 - March 11, 1972) was an American science fiction and mystery writer. He was born at Cincinnati. He had two sons: James Ross Brown and Linn Lewis Brown (October 7, 1932 - June 15, 2008). He is perhaps best known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" formstories of 1 to 3 pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a somewhat postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well.
