Thomas M. Disch
"Novelist, poet, and critic, he has become a most significant literary presence."—American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, 1999
"Disch may be the most formidably gifted unfamous American writer.... diversely gifted...entirely original...joyously versatile...a unique talent."—Walter Clemons, Newsweek
"One of the most remarkably talented writers around."—Washington Post Book World
"When it comes to Thomas Disch, label makers scratch their heads.... This literary chameleon redefined science fiction with novels that have been compared to the best from Orwell to Huxley, wrote bestselling children's books about talking kitchen appliances, earned censure from the Catholic Church for an off-Broadway play, published light verse, twisted the pulp conventions of gothic fiction, experimented with interactive software, and demolished the American poetry establishment, UFO cults and other sacred cows in brilliant critical essays."—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"There is hardly a narrative form Disch has not tried, stretched, and reshaped."—John Crowley, The New York Times Book Review
