罗伯特·F·杨

罗伯特‧富兰克林‧杨（Robert Franklin Young，1915年—1986年）是一名美国的科幻作家。除了在第二次世界大战时，有三年半的时间人在太平洋服役外，他的一生多半在纽约州度过。他在伊利湖一带也有房产。

生平

罗伯特‧杨只能算是一个小有名气的人，无论在美国或其他地区都一样。他在写作投注了超过三十年的时间，一直到他逝世前都没有停止写作。几乎在他逝世前，科幻界才知道他曾经替水牛城的官立学校担任过校工。

他的写作生涯从1953年开始，起初在 Startling Stories，然后是花花公子，The Saturday Evening Post ，以及Collier's。类型主要是以诗意而浪漫的短篇小说为主，使他和雷·布莱伯利以及席奥多尔·史铎金得以相提并论。其中有许多作品由法国的 Galaxie、Fiction 以及 Livre de Poche 的科幻选集发行了法文版。在意大利，多数的作品是由 Urania 杂志发行。

罗伯特‧杨最著名的作品可能是蒲公英女孩（The Dandelion Girl），影响了日本动画导演出渊裕的翼神世音以及杨后来的作品“Little Dog Gone”，该书更被提名为雨果奖最佳故事。^[1]
