Andrew Weiner

Andrew Weiner is a British writer of Science-fiction.

Born in London in 1949, Weiner emigrated in Canada in its childhood. Having begun under the aegis of Harlan Ellison, the author specialized in the écritrue of soft-bitter news, revisiting known sets of themes in order to give them a personal torsion, of humorous tonality and/or melancholic person. This outside traditional aspect but finally highly speculative, very modern, seems typical of a certain Canadian science fiction, as at Robert Charles Wilson or Michael Coney. After a first novel, food, Andrew Weiner failed to find an editor for his two following long works, whose, thing as rare as remarkable, the original edition was their French translation. It seems that the hybrid character between contemporary literature, Romance black and science fiction, as well as a tendency not to enter the liberal ideological mould, can explain why these two beautiful novels did not find taking on the North-American ground (only the finding first of both, tardily, with being finally published at a " small press" Canadian).
