He qualified from Columbia University in 1962 with an MA and worked for the Social Security Administration in Cleveland, Ohio, and Baltimore, Maryland between 1962 and 1969. From 1969 to his death he wrote full-time though he started writing as soon as he started work. His arrival coincided with Samuel R. Delany, Thomas M. Disch and Ursula K. Le Guin, making that a bumper year for new wave science fiction.
He won six Hugos and 3 Nebulas and is possibly most widely known as the author of the two Amber Quintologies.
He died from a heart attack.
