* Disch's long autobiographical essays in ''Something About the Author Autobiography Series'', vol. 15, and ''Contemporary Authors Autobiography Series'', vol. 4 (Gale), both of which are widely available from library reference desks: ''Something About...'' is aimed at children and ''Contemporary Authors'' is not, but Disch's pieces in both of them (written in the mid-1980s) are informative and drily funny. The former piece, "My Life as a Child", also appeared in the October and November 1992 issues of ''Amazing Stories''.
