Biography

Front cover of Michael Swanwick's book-length interview with Dozois, Being Gardner Dozois.

A subtle writer with a distinctive prose style who has mainly worked in shorter forms, he has won the Nebula Award for best short story twice -- for "The Peacemaker" in 1983, and for "Morning Child" in 1984. His short fiction has been collected in The Visible Man (1977), Geodesic Dreams (a best-of collection), Slow Dancing through Time (1990, collaborations), and Strange Days (2001, another best-of collection). A solo novel, Strangers (1978), and a collaboration with George Alec Effinger, Nightmare Blue (1977), represent his novel-length output. After becoming editor of Asimov's, Dozois's fiction output dwindled, but he is now making a comeback. Dozois has won a record 15 Hugo Awards for Best Professional Editor, having won nearly every year between 1988 and his retirement from Asimov's in 2004. Dozois is a well-known short fiction anthologist. After resigning from his Asimov's position, he remained the editor of the anthology series The Year's Best Science Fiction, published annually since 1984. And, with Jack Dann, he has edited a long series of themed anthologies, each with a self-explanatory title such as Cats, Dinosaurs, Seaserpents, or Hackers. Dozois has consistently expressed a particular interest in adventure SF and space opera, which he collectively refers to as "center-core SF". [1] Michael Swanwick, with whom Dozois has collaborated on fiction, published a book-length interview with him in 2001. Titled Being Gardner Dozois, it covered each published piece of fiction Dozois ever wrote. Dozois grew up in Salem, Massachusetts and has said that he turned to reading fiction partially as an escape from the city's provincialism. He became active in the science fiction community after serving a stint in the Army. He currently lives in Philadelphia. He was badly injured in a taxi accident after returning from a Philadelphia Phillies game in 2004 (causing him to miss Worldcon for the first time in many years) but made a full recovery. On July 6, 2007, Dozois had surgery for a planned quintuple bypass operation. A week later, he experienced complications which prompted additional surgery to implant a defibrillator. He was later said to be recovering and preparing to return home from hospital. [2]
