Walter M. Miller, Jr.
Walter Michael Miller, Jr. (January 23, 1923 – January 9, 1996) was an American science fiction writer. Today he is primarily known for ''A Canticle for Leibowitz'', the only novel he published in his lifetime. Prior to its publication he was a prolific writer of short stories.
==Early life==
Miller was born in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Educated at the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas, he worked as an engineer. During World War II, he served in the Army Air Corps as a radioman and tail gunner, flying more than fifty bombing missions over Italy. He took part in the bombing of the Benedictine Abbey at Monte Cassino, which proved a traumatic experience for him. Joe Haldeman reported that Miller "had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for 30 years before it had a name", and that Miller displayed a photograph he had taken of Ron Kovic prominently in his living room.〔"An Appreciation", Joe Haldeman, ''Locus'', February 1996, pp. 78-79.〕
After the war, Miller converted to Catholicism. He married Anna Louise Becker in 1945 and they had four children. He lived with science-fiction writer Judith Merril in 1953.
