As a teenager in the years before World War II, he wrote prolifically and brilliantly under multiple pennames. After military service he developed a voice distinctive for its commanding intelligence, passion, and wit, displaying it in a string of novels and short stories including his award-winning \"The Little Black Bag.\" His sudden death in 1958, at the early age of 35, marked the end of an era--it was a time when his chosen literary field was contemplating its potential demise. This comprehensive biography tells the story of this remarkable writer and his works for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46889960505495,"sku":"9780786443932","price":4664.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786443932.webp?v=1770267081","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/c-m-kornbluth-the-life-and-works-of-a-science-fiction-visionary-9780786443932","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
