Overview: Robert F. Young (June 8, 1915 – June 22, 1986)
Except for the three and a half years he served in the Pacific during World War II, he spent most of his life in New York State.
Although his career spanned more than thirty years, Robert F. Young remained little known by the public. Only near the end of his life did the science fiction community learn he had been a janitor in the Buffalo public school system.
Robert F. Young’s writing career started in 1953 in Startling Stories; the best generally appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, although he wrote also for most of the American sf magazines and for the Saturday Evening Post and others. Young was a slick, polished writer; his stories are readable, often superficial, but the best of them have some of the emotional force of the work of Ray Bradbury, Robert Nathan or Theodore Sturgeon, all of whom seem to have influenced him. His most famous short stories are perhaps “The Dandelion Girl”, which influenced the director of the anime series RahXephon; and “Little Dog Gone”, which was nominated in 1965 for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story.
Young wrote only five novels, including La Quete de la Sainte Grille, an expansion of his short story “The Quest of the Holy Grille”; written in French and only released only in France.
