Biography
Dozua was born July 23, 1947 in Salem , Massachusetts. [2] He graduated from Salem High School in 1965. From 1966 to 1969 he served in the army as a journalist, after which he moved to New York to work as a science fiction editor.
He said that he turned to reading fiction as an escape from the provincialism of his hometown.
Dosua was seriously injured in a car accident when he returned from playing the Philadelphia Phillies in 2004 (as a result of which he missed Worldcon for the first time in many years), but recovered completely.
He died on May 27 due to a profuse internal infection at the age of 70 years.
In recent years, he lived in Philadelphia .
Literature
As a writer, Gardner Dozua worked mainly in short form. He was six times among the nominees for the Nebula Prize for the best story , but only twice received it - in 1984 for the Peacemaker, and in 1985 for the Morning Child . In 1972, 1973 and 2001, he was among the Nebula nominees in the category for the best short story ; in 1974 he was a contender for Nebula for the best novel ; in 1979, claimed to "Nebula" for the best novel (for the Strangers ).
His stories have been collected in collections: The Visible Man (1977), Geodesic Dreams , Slow Dancing through Time (1990, in collaboration), Strange Days (2001), Morning Child and Other Stories (2004) and When the Great Days Come (2011) ) As a novelist , Dozua is the author of the only novel - Strangers (1978). He was a co-author in the works of Nightmare Blue (1977, together with George Effinger ) and Hunter's Run (2008, together with George Martin and Daniel Abraham [3] ). When Dosua became the editor-in-chief of Asimov's Science Fiction , his writing activity declined. He also began to write brief reviews of fiction for Locus .
