| 520 | _a"The Plagiarist From Rigel IV" by Evan Hunter is a science fiction short story written in the early 1950s. The narrative explores themes of creativity, originality, and the bizarre consequences of technological advancement through the lens of a struggling writer. The plot revolves around a typewriter that mysteriously types out stories predominantly attributed to Edgar Allan Poe, leading to a humorous yet tense exploration of authorship and inspiration. The story follows Fred, a down-and-out writer who discovers a peculiar typewriter in a pawn shop for only five dollars. This seemingly ordinary machine begins to type famous works by Poe on its own, revealing a sentient connection to the writer's plight. Fred grapples with the implications of this anomaly, as he desires to create his own original works but finds himself continuously confronted by the works of Poe. As he communicates with the typewriter, he learns that it comes from Rigel IV, a planet with an advanced civilization, and the two strike a deal to trade stories. The quirky collaboration opens up unexpected possibilities for Fred, ultimately leading to his newfound success as a writer, though he remains acutely aware of the thin line between inspiration and plagiarism.
