Damon Knight cytaty

Damon Knight – amerykański pisarz, redaktor i wydawca oraz krytyk science fiction i fantasy. Założyciel i pierwszy prezes Science Fiction Writers of America . Niektóre opowiadania pisał pod pseudonimem Stuart Fleming.

Miał duży wpływ na kształtowanie się amerykańskiej fantastyki naukowej jako redaktor magazynów i antologii. Choć wydał sporo książek i opowiadań to jego dzieła literackie nie miały tak szerokiego odbioru jak jego dokonania edytorskie. Najbardziej cenione były jego miniatury literackie. Wikipedia
