作者简介

Ray Cummings (18871957) was a pioneering American science fiction writer, often referred to as one of the founding fathers of the genre. With a background in science, having worked as a technical writer for Thomas Edison, Cummings blended scientific knowledge with imaginative storytelling, becoming a key figure in early 20th-century pulp fiction. He is best known for his works exploring the possibilities of time and space, such as "The Girl in the Golden Atom" and "The Time Professor", which helped lay the groundwork for modern science fiction. Though primarily associated with science fiction, Cummings was a versatile writer who also explored different genres, including adventure and romance. "An Artshop in Greenwich Village" reflects his fascination with bohemian culture and the vibrant artistic communities of New York in the early 1900s. Set in the iconic Greenwich Village, the novella captures the spirit of artistic rebellion and creative freedom that characterized the neighborhood at the time. This work showcased Cummings ability to move beyond futuristic themes and engage with the contemporary social and cultural currents of his era. Cummings prolific output and imaginative narratives left an indelible mark on American popular literature, and his contributions to science fiction remain influential today.
