Arsen Darnay

Arsen Julius Darnay (born July 31, 1936 in Budapest) is a Hungarian-American science fiction writer.

Darnay emigrated to the United States in 1953.[1] His first science fiction stories were published in Galaxy Science Fiction in 1974–75,[1] after being purchased by editor Jim Baen;[2] Mike Ashley has estimated that of all Baen's discoveries, Darnay was "the most prolific (...) at least for the next four years before he moved on to become a management consultant."[2]

Critical reaction

In 1976, Darnay was nominated for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.[3] His works were twice nominated for the Locus Award for Best Novella.[3]

Kirkus Reviews described Darnay as a "diamond in the rough".[4]
