Gordon R. Dickson

Past Nominations and Wins

Canadian born Gordon Dickson (1923-2001) is best known for creating the Dorsai. He re-stablished the Minnesota Fantasy Society, where he became friends with his some-time collaborator, Poul Anderson. The two created the Hoka, which figured in a series of short stories. His first published story, “Trespass,” was a collaboration with Anderson, as well. Other notable work included The Dragon and the George series. Dickson was involved with science fiction fandom, attending conventions and taking part in filks. His Dorsai series was originally slated to be a collection of novels set in the past, present and future, although the future sections were the only ones published, and then, more extensively than initially planned. Dickson served as President of the SFWA from 1969-1971 and won the Nebula Award in 1966 for Call Him Lord. His Hugo-winning stories were “Soldier, Ask Not,” “Lost Dorsai,” and “The Cloak and the Staff.” In 2000, Dickson was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.
