Harry Maxwell Harrison (born March 12, 1925 in Stamford, Connecticut) is an American science fiction author who has lived in many parts of the world including Mexico, England, Denmark and Italy. He currently lives in Dublin, and is Honorary President of the Esperanto Association of Ireland.

Career

Harrison started working in the science fiction field as an illustrator before becoming an editor. A large number of his early short stories were first published under house pseudonyms such as 'Wade Kaempfert'. Harrison also wrote for syndicated comic strips, creating the 'Rick Random' character. Harrison is now much better known for his writing, particularly his humorous and satirical science fiction, such as the novel Bill, the Galactic Hero and the Stainless Steel Rat series. Not all of Harrison's writing is comic, though. He has written many stories on serious themes, of which by far the best known is the novella Make Room! Make Room! which was turned into the classic science fiction film Soylent Green. Harrison for a time was closely identified with Brian Aldiss and the pair collaborated on a series of anthology projects. Harrison and Aldiss did much in the 1970s to raise the standards of criticism in the field.
