Mr Finney and "Temps perdu". I am so pleased to have rediscovered this Grand Master. Some of these stories I read (in translation) 50 years ago, only... The name of the author didn't stick... So I have a lot of "new" reading! Science Fiction from the 50' is often humorous. And more often very, *very* scary. If you can't actually remember the cold war, as a child, I doubt you can understand. I was of course odd. A little girl. Reading *that*! In a foreign language? Helped my English, AndSF was equal first.

Om författaren

Jack Finney (1911 - 1995)

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, his given name was John Finney. After the death of his father when he was three years old he was renamed Walter Braden Finney in honour of his father's memory. Despite this, he continued to go by the name "Jack" throughout his life. Finney graduated in 1934 from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, and later moved to New York with his family where he worked for an advertising agency. As a writer, Finney's early works were relatively successful, with his first short story, 'The Widow's Walk', winning a contest sponsored by Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in 1946 and his first novel, 5 Against the House (1954), being turned into a film the year after publication. But he is best know as the author of The Body Snatchers, which became the hugely popular and influential film, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
