Wikipedia

Alfred Elton van Vogt est né dans une ferme à Edenburg, une communauté mennonite russe située à l'est de Gretna, au Manitoba. Au début de sa carrière, il écrit pour des magazines populaires de confessions intimes comme True Story, mais à la fin des années 1930, il commence à se tourner vers la science-fiction, qui l'intéresse davantage.
