Question: Which novelist's name, Nevil Shute or Bernard Malamud, was a pen name to distance his writing from his career in engineering?
Context: Trustee from the Toolroom is a novel written by Nevil Shute.  Shute died in January 1960; "Trustee" was published posthumously later that year. Janna Malamud Smith (born 1952) is an American non-fiction writer.  She was born in Corvallis, Oregon in 1952, the second of two children born to Ann DeChiara Malamud and the writer Bernard Malamud.  She grew up in Oregon, then in Bennington, Vermont, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.  She received her A.B. from Harvard University in 1973, majoring in American History and Literature, and an M.S.W. in 1979 from Smith College.  She practices and teaches psychotherapy in the Boston area.  She is married to David Smith, and is the mother of two children. Australia, unlike Europe, does not have a long history in the genre of science fiction.  Nevil Shute's "On the Beach", published in 1957, and filmed in 1959, was perhaps the first notable international success.  Though not born in Australia, Shute spent his latter years there, and the book was set in Australia.  It might have been worse had the imports of American pulp magazines not been restricted during WWII, forcing local writers into the field.  Various compilation magazines began appearing in the 1960s and the field has continued to expand into some significance.  Today Australia has a thriving SF/Fantasy genre with names recognised around the world.  In 2013 a trilogy by Sydney-born Ben Peek was sold at auction to a UK publisher for a six-figure deal . Nevil Shute Norway (17 January 189912 January 1960) was an English novelist and aeronautical engineer who spent his later years in Australia.  He used his full name in his engineering career and Nevil Shute as his pen name to protect his engineering career from any potential negative publicity in connection with his novels, which included "On the Beach" and "A Town Like Alice".
