An
author whose literary creations have dazzled readers
for five decades now. An accomplished mystery and science
fiction writer, Arthur Porges (1915 - ) has specialized
in the short-short story form throughout his varied
career. A regular contributor to the science fiction
magazines of the fifties & sixties, his best known
story is probably The Ruum, a much reprinted tale with
a style that typifies the majority of his unusual work.
And what stories! Dusty Answer, Dr. Blackadder's Clients,
A Specimen for the Queen, Priceless Possession, Aunt
Rutabaga, Movie Show, A Touch of Sun, A Puzzle in Sand,
The Dragons of Tesla, By A Fluke,......and many, many
more.
