I'm looking for a definitive answer on how to pronounce Fritz Leiber's last name. I guess audio of him or a close family member would be ideal, or maybe he addressed it somewhere in writing.
I and people I know have always pronounced it LEE-ber (IPA /'libər/), but tonight I heard a podcast episode use LIE-ber (/'laibər/). Pronouncekiwi gives
