About the author
Norman Arkawy was an American science fiction writer active in the 1950s. His work appeared in that classic magazine era, and several of his stories have since been preserved through Project Gutenberg and other public-domain archives, helping new readers discover him today.
He is especially associated with short speculative fiction that explores futuristic systems and everyday human tensions. Some of his known works include Selling Point, Night Court, and collaborations with Stanley Henig such as Peace and The Forerunners.
Available records also identify him as Norman M. Arkawy, born in 1927 and deceased in 2004. Even with a limited surviving public profile, his fiction still stands out for its clean, idea-driven storytelling and its interest in how ordinary people cope with unsettling new worlds.
