¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Anthony Boucher!
AKA William Anthony Parker White.
Born August 21, 1911. Died April 29, 1968.
He was a famous writer of fantasy and science fiction stories, not to mention a pretty neat mystery author. He was also one of the founding editors of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. In addition, he was also one of the first English translators of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, having translated one of his short stories for Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. As if all that was not enough, he also founded the Mystery Writers of America in 1946.
All in all, he was a very busy man whose influence on a variety of literary genres has been missed.
