description: "Fredric Brown was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. \nHe is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the \"short short\" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, \"Arena\", was adapted into a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek."
