Algis Budrys (born January 9, 1931) is an American science fiction author.
Biography
Algis Budrys was born Algirdas Jonas Budrys in Königsberg in East Prussia. He was the son of the consul-general of the Lithuanian government (the pre-WW2 government still recognized after the war by the United States, even though the USSR-sponsored government was in power throughout most of Budrys's life). His family emigrated to the USA in 1936 when Budrys was 5 years old.
He was educated at the University of Miami, and later at Columbia University in New York. Beginning in 1952 Budrys worked as editor and manager for such science fiction publishers as Gnome Press and Galaxy Science Fiction. Some of his science fiction in the 1950s was published under the pen name "John A. Sentry", an reconfigured Anglification of his Lithuanian name.
Budrys is married and lives with his four sons in Evanston, Illinois.
