Arthur C. Clarke

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (16 December 1917 - 19 March 2008) was a British author, inventor, explorer and television personality. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential science fiction writers of all time, his Rama and Space Odyssey series being considered classics of the genre. He also wrote the screenplay for the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, a critically-acclaimed piece of modern cinema, based on his novels and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
In 1948, Clarke sent Irish author Lord Dunsany, one of H. P. Lovecraft's literary inspirations, a copy of The Arkham Sampler containing a segment of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. Dunsany was appreciative of the piece, stating "I see Lovecraft borrowed my style, & I don't grudge it to him" Darrell Schweitzer, Review of Keith Allan Daniels, "Arthur C. Clarke & Lord Dunsany: A Correspondence by Keith Allen Daniels". Weird Tales, DNA Publications, Fall 1998 (p. 9).
