Overview: Thomas Michael Disch was born on February 2, 1940 in Des Moines, Iowa. Disch’s first formal education was at Catholic schools, as evidenced in some of his works which contain scathing criticisms of the Catholic Church. In the Saint Paul public schools, Disch discovered his long-term loves of science fiction, drama, and poetry. He describes poetry as his stepping-stone to the literary world.
In May 1962, he decided to write a short story instead of studying for his midterm exams. He sold the story, “The Double Timer”, for $112.50 to the magazine Fantastic. Having begun his literary career, he did not return to NYU but rather took another series of odd jobs such as bank teller, mortuary assistant, and copy editor—all of which served to fuel what he referred to as his night-time “writing habit”.
Over his forty-three year career, Dusch published seventeen novels, two novelizations, four serialized novels, nearly five hundred poems, three librettos for opera and two hundred and eighteen works of short fiction; across nearly every genre.
Thomas Michael Disch died on July 4, 2008 in Manhattan, New York City, New York.
