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]

gollark: Dendrite is somewhat faster but still very resource hungry versus an IRC server or bouncer, and it lacks features.
gollark: There's one feature complete usable one.
gollark: Although that might just be XMPP.
gollark: One vague idea I had which will never be implemented is something like IRC but with global email-like identity and server side history.
gollark: Matrix server software also seems to be hilariously complex and slow.
