小沃尔特﹒M﹒米勒于1923年生于美国南方。珍珠港事变后,他加入美国空军,成为无线电通讯员和机炮手,在意大利和巴尔干上空参加五十五次空战,其中包括引起很大争议的对卡西诺山本笃会修道院的空袭。正是这次空袭,使米勒在十五年后创作了《莱博维茨的赞歌》:一部发生在阴暗的修道院中的科幻小说。
米勒创作了不少优秀的短篇小说,但与其他几乎所有一流科幻小说家不同的是,米勒仅创作了一部长篇小说,这就是《莱博维茨的赞歌》。许多年来,一直有谣传它会有续集,但是续集至今仍未出现。事实上,这样一部杰作已经注定了它不需要有续集。

Winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel and widely considered one of the most accomplished, powerful, and enduring classics of modern speculative fiction, Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s "A Canticle for Leibowitz" is a true landmark of twentieth-century literature -- a chilling and still-provocative look at a post-apocalyptic future. In a nightmarish ruined world slowly awakening to the light after sleeping in darkness, the infant rediscoveries of science are secretly nourished by cloistered monks dedicated to the study and preservation of the relics and writings of the blessed Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From here the story spans centuries of ignorance, violence, and barbarism, viewing through a sharp, satirical eye the relentless progression of a human race damned by its inherent humanness to recelebrate its grand foibles and repeat its grievous mistakes. Seriously funny, stunning, and tragic, eternally fresh, imaginative, and altogether remarkable, "A Canticle for Leibowitz" retains its ability to enthrall and amaze. It is now, as it always has been, a masterpiece.
