Thomas Michael Disch (February 2, 1940 – c. July 4, 2008)
was an American science fiction author and poet. He won the Hugo
Award for Best Related Book (previously entitled "Best Non-Fiction
Book") in 1999, and he had two other Hugo nominations and nine
Nebula Award nominations to his credit, plus one win of the John
W. Campbell Memorial Award, a Rhysling Award, and two Seiun Awards,
among others.
Disch was born in Des Moines, Iowa. In the 1960s, his work began
appearing in science-fiction magazines. His first novel, The Genocides,
appeared in 1965. He soon became known as part of the New Wave,
writing for New Worlds and other avant-garde publications. His critically
acclaimed novels of that time included Camp Concentration and 334.
In the 1980s, he moved from science fiction to horror, with a series
of books set in Minneapolis: The Businessman, The M.D., The Priest,
and The Sub. His latest novel The Word of God was published by Tachyon
Publications in the Summer of 2008.
