William Tenn (1920–2010), the pen name of Philip Klass, was hailed as the field’s great humorist in the 1950s, a fixture of Galaxy whose sharp, satirical stories skewered human folly with real bite. ‘Of Men and Monsters’, in which humanity survives as vermin in the walls of giant aliens’ homes, is his best-known novel. He later taught writing at Penn State for over two decades and was named an SFWA Author Emeritus.
