Murray Leinster

„Murray Leinster“ ist das Pseudonym des renommierten amerikanischen Autors William Fitzgerald Jenkins. Leinster war ein äußerst produktiver Schriftsteller, insbesondere in den Genres Alternativgeschichte und Science-Fiction. Seine Werke umfassten jedoch auch zahlreiche andere Genres, wie Horror, Fantasy, Pulpfiction, Western und Krimis. Im Verlauf seiner Karriere verfasste und veröffentlichte Leinster mehr als 1.500 Artikel und Kurzgeschichten, hunderte von Fernsehdrehbüchern und Hörspielen sowie 14 Filmmanuskripte.

Leinster wurde am 16. Juni 1896 in Norfolk, Virginia, in den Vereinigten Staaten geboren. Sein Vater, George Jenkins, war Buchhalter, und seine Mutter, Mary Jenkins, war Hausfrau. Obwohl beide Eltern von Leinster aus Virginia stammten, zog die Familie 1910 nach Manhattan.

Leinsters Schriftstellerlaufbahn erstreckte sich über sechs Jahrzehnte, in denen er in seinen frühen Jahren Mystery- und Abenteuergeschichten und in seinen späteren Jahren Science-Fiction verfasste. Er war ein höchst professioneller und geschickter Autor, der über die Jahre hinweg konstant von hoher Qualität war. 1956 erhielt Leinster den Hugo Award für seine Novelle „Exploration Team“, und 1995 wurde der Sidewise Award for Alternate History nach seiner klassischen Geschichte „Sidewise in Time“ benannt. Leinsters letztes Originalwerk wurde 1967 veröffentlicht. Seine Beiträge zur Literaturwelt waren bedeutend und sein Erbe als Autor hält bis heute an.“
