羅伯特·F·楊

羅伯特‧富蘭克林‧楊（Robert Franklin Young，1915年6月8日－1986年6月22日）是一名美國的科幻作家。除了在第二次世界大戰時，有三年半的時間人在太平洋服役外，他的一生多半在紐約州度過。他在伊利湖一帶也有房產。

## 生平

羅伯特‧楊只能算是一個小有名氣的人，無論在美國或其他地區都一樣。他在寫作投注了超過三十年的時間，一直到他逝世前都沒有停止寫作。幾乎在他逝世前，科幻界才知道他曾經替水牛城的官立學校擔任過校工。

他的寫作生涯從1953年開始，起初在Startling Stories，然後是花花公子、星期六晚郵報以及Collier's。類型主要是以詩意而浪漫的短篇小說為主，使他和雷·布萊伯利以及席奧多爾·史鐸金得以相提並論。其中有許多作品由法國的銀河系科幻小說、Fiction (magazine)以及Livre de Poche的科幻選集發行了法文版。在義大利，多數的作品是由Urania (magazine)雜誌發行。

羅伯特‧楊最著名的作品可能是蒲公英女孩（The Dandelion Girl），影響了日本動畫導演出淵裕的翼神世音以及楊後來的作品「Little Dog Gone」，該書更被提名為雨果獎最佳故事。
