Actor, priest, publisher, drama theory teacher, popular lecturer and, finally, science fiction writer, one of the most influential - this is the biography of Fritz Leiber. Unlike many of his colleagues, Leiber wrote very little. But each of his new works was meticulously sold out in millions of copies, meticulously studied by science fiction writers, since, as a rule, it meant a new step in the development of American science fiction as a whole. Fritz Leiber always has something to say to the reader. He is always interesting.
