About the author
Jim Harmon (Harmon, Jim, 1933–2010), born James Judson Harmon in Mount Carmel, Illinois, was an American short-story writer and historian of popular culture. In the 1950s and 1960s he contributed dozens of short stories to science fiction magazines such as Galaxy and If, writing with a light, ingenious touch and finding fantasy in everyday situations; his representative pieces were collected in Harmon's Galaxy. Other titles in the collection, including Confidence Game, Break a Leg, Measure for a Loner, No Substitutions, Name Your Symptom, Charity Case, The Air of Castor Oil and Always a Qurono, show the variety of his short fiction. He is also known for his studies of the golden age of American radio, notably The Great Radio Heroes, which earned him the nickname "Mr. Nostalgia." Public information on the details of his life is limited, and existing accounts center on his science fiction shorts and his writing on nostalgia and popular culture.
