Brown was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1906. At 18 he became an office worker and did that until he was 30, when he left to become a writer. His first science fiction short story appeared 5 years later in 1941. He won the “Edgar” award for Best First Mystery for “The Fabulous Clipjoint” in 1947 from the Mystery Writers of America. Fredric Brown wrote more than 300 short stories including some of the shortest science fiction short stories you’ll ever find. Many of them can be found in vintage science fiction magazines, in their entirety, on only one page. And The Gods Laughed isn’t a long story, but its longer than those one-page vignettes. Let’s go back in time 78 years and peruse the Spring 1944 edition of Planet Stories magazine.
