About the author

Very little biographical information about Art Lewis appears to be readily available in reliable public sources. Based on Project Gutenberg's catalog, Lewis is credited as the author of Vassi, a science fiction short story.

Project Gutenberg identifies Vassi as having been produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, January 1961. The story blends time travel, illness, and loneliness, suggesting a writer interested in intimate human stakes as much as speculative ideas.

Because confirmed details about Lewis's life and career are scarce, it's safest to treat him as an obscure magazine-era science fiction author whose reputation now rests mainly on this single preserved story.
