Orson Scott Card

Forfatterbiografi

Orson Scott Card (født 24. august 1951) er en amerikansk forfatter kendt især for science fiction og fantasy. Han forbindes bredt med spekulativ litteratur, hvor etiske spørgsmål, menneskelige relationer og konsekvenser af magt og krig ofte står centralt. Det gennembrudte rygen får man typisk gennem Ender-universet, som rummer nogle af hans mest læste og mest prisbelønnede romaner. Den anden roman i serien, Speaker for the Dead, vandt både Nebula Award (for 1986) og Hugo Award (for 1987), hvilket gjorde Card til en af de markante skikkelser i sin generations amerikanske genrelitteratur. Som forfatter har Card også været anerkendt af biblioteksvæsenet; i 2008 modtog han den amerikanske Margaret A. Edwards Award for sit bidrag til ungdomslitteratur. Hans forfatterskab har haft stor betydning for diskussioner om identitet, skyld og fortolkning af historien i science fiction-litteraturen, ikke mindst gennem hans evne til at lade eftertiden og “fortællingen om det skete” bære den litterære tyngde.
