voici un article sur les métiers les plus étonnants des auteurs de science fiction.
C'est en anglais et c'est à lire ici
Voici quelques exemples :
-Theodore Sturgeon's day jobs included "door-to-door refrigerator salesman, circus roustabout, resort hotel manager (in Jamaica), bulldozer driver (Puerto Rico), and gas station operator and a tractor lubrication center operator for the Army."
- Philip Jose Farmer spent a dozen years working for the Keystone Steel & Wire Company.
- Thomas M. Disch was the night watchman at a funeral parlor — which would creep me out, I have to say. He also carried a spear for the Metropolitan Opera.
- Frederik Pohl was a literary agent, whose clients included Isaac Asimov as well as half the genre's other writers at the time — but he couldn't make a living at it.
