Title
Stanley G. Weinbaum. The Greatest Science Fiction Stories
Description
Stanley Grauman Weinbaum was an American science fiction writer. His first story, "A Martian Odyssey", was published to great acclaim in July 1934; the alien Tweel was arguably the first character to satisfy John W. Campbell's challenge: "Write me a creature who thinks as well as a man, or better than a man, but not like a man." Weinbaum wrote more short stories and a few novels, but died from lung cancer less than a year and a half later.

About the author:
Stanley Grauman Weinbaum (1902 – 1935) was an SF author whose career was short but influential. His first story, "A Martian Odyssey," was published to great acclaim in July 1934.
That groundbreaking short story presented a sympathetic but decidedly non-human alien, Tweel.
Isaac Asimov described the story as a perfect Campbellian SF story, before John W. Campbell. Lester del Rey said that "Weinbaum, more than any other writer, helped to take our field out of the doldrums of the early thirties and into the beginnings of modern science fiction."
He was a member of the Milwaukee Fictioneers.
