Thomas M. Disch (1940-2008), New Wave SF visionary, poet, anatomist of New York City and Minnesota, Gothic experimenter, critic, crank. Did a lot of different things. Sorely missed.
Notes are here for these books:
Other reading
- Wikipedia - biography etc.
- Schrödinger's Cake - comprehensive fan site by Matthew Davis (Internet Archive link, archived July 4, 2018)
- Boston Review obituary - by John Crowley
- The Prescient Science Fiction of Thomas M. Disch - by David Auerbach
- A wide-ranging Disch interview from 2001 by David Horwich
- Another long interview by Joseph Francavilla, Science Fiction Studies #29, 1983
- Another interview from 1984 by Scott Edelman, originally published in Last Wave, winter 1986
- "Thomas M., Meet Tom" by David Yezzi, Contemporary Poetry Review, 2008.
- 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.
