"If this is truly the end of Bear’s fiction career, it’s no time for mourning.
Bear has had one of science fiction’s most celebrated runs, selling millions of
books that have been translated into 19 languages. He sold his first story to
Famous Science Fiction magazine at the age of 15 for $10. Since then, he’s been
a key player at important moments in the history of modern science fiction, and
a touchstone connecting giants of yore like Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury with
today’s crowd of notable authors. And he has inspired many with his examination
of important ideas and concerns over the decades that are now front-page
headlines in our seemingly unraveling world.
Bear was also one of the founders of San Diego Comic-Con, a past president of
the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a Clarion West fellowship
instructor with Octavia Butler and a winner of five Nebula Awards and two Hugo
Awards, the top honors in the science fiction and fantasy worlds. Any of these
things alone would top a resume.
So instead of fiction, Bear is at the moment putting the finishing touches on a
sprawling memoir that will link the two golden ages of speculative fiction."
