Author - Silverberg, Robert

Me and Silverberg at MidAmeriCon II

Birth: January 15, 1935.

Death: Still alive and kicking.

Comments: Robert Silverberg is an extremely prolific science fiction author having had dozens of novels and hundreds of short stories published. He has won five Nebula awards, four Hugo awards, and has been inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. He got his start in the 1950s writing short stories for the then thriving science fiction magazine market. Silverberg left the science fiction field for a bit, but returned in the mid-1960s to write several excellent novels, and by the 1970s he was a regular on the Hugo awards ballot. Among his more prominent works are a series of novels set on the planet of Majipoor, an enormous mineral-poor world settled by numerous alien races, including humanity. I know I have read some of the books in the Majipoor series, but I read them so long ago that I don't remember which ones.

Robert Silverberg doesn't have his own website, but he has designated Jon Davis' fan site as the Quasi-Official Robert Silverberg Website.
