R. A. Lafferty

R.A. Lafferty (1914-2002) was an American science fiction and fantasy author whose wildly inventive, idiosyncratic writing has earned him a devoted cult following. Lafferty's fiction defied genre conventions with its distinctive voice — a unique blend of tall-tale storytelling, intellectual playfulness, Catholic theology and sheer imaginative exuberance. He won the Hugo Award and was named a Grand Master by the World Fantasy Convention.
