No, or at least his writing greatly overshadowed any of his other accomplishments.
Robert Heinlein?
Robert Heinlein?
No, not Robert Heinlein.
Was a movie made from his work that in another language, eg, not in English?
Did the writer win any major awards like a Hugo or a Nebula?
My guess here in case Bryan Ekers ever comes back and I can’t answer within five minutes*:
Theodore Sturgeon
*May change on whim or maybe depending on his answer.
No, or at least not any well-known authorized adaptations.
Not those two. You’ll have to be specific than “major”.
No.
Sorry for the delay, but I waited at least 30 minutes last night for further posts before going to bed.
This guy is a guy, isn’t he?
If not my guess is James Tiptree If so, no guess at this time.
The subject is a deceased man, born in the United States, best known for being an author of science fiction and whose work has been adapted to the screen, solely in English (not counting obscure unofficial film adaptations that may exist). He was over the age of 65 at the time of his death, which took place between 10 and 20 years ago.
He won neither a Hugo nor a Nebula award, nor is he any of the authors named thus far.
Was he given the Grand Master Award for lifetime achievement by the Science ZFiction and Fantasy Writers of America?
If you mean the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Awards listed here then, no.
Darn, I was thinking Lester del Rey. Is it Reginald Bretnor?
No.
I don’t have a question. Was it Roald Dahl?
No. Going to bed now. If y’all don’t start coming up with questions that narrow the field by more than one person at a time, this is going to take quite a while.
Sorry. This genre is not my thing. I don’t even know what to ask. Maybe a hint would speed things up?
He was Jewish.
Did he commit suicide?
No.
