About the author
Arthur Porges (1915–2006) was an American writer of science fiction and mystery fiction. Born in 1915 and deceased in 2006, he lived through most of the twentieth century. He worked mainly in the short story form, known for ingenious plotting and clean, economical narration, leaving a distinctive mark where the two genres intersect. His representative work, Revenge, reflects his gift for building suspense and resolving stories with clever turns. Public information about him is limited: his life details, total output and awards cannot be reliably established, and Chinese translations of his work remain scarce. Nevertheless, his name is still remembered by readers of British and American short mystery and science fiction, and his stories are regarded as a continuation and variation of the pulp-era style, offering reference value for later short suspense writing.
