Born, raised and lived in Kentucky for a long time, he now lives in New York. Terry Bisson’s literary debut is a very unusual novel in the genre of heroic fantasy “Wyrldmaker” (1981), written with a fair amount of humor. From the next novel “The Speaker” (1986) on Bisson seriously drew the attention of the critic. Written simultaneously in the style of Saimak and Murcock with good humor, this book earned very good reviews and was among the finalists of the World Fantasy Awards. The third novel “Fire on the Mountain” (1988) tells about a different version of the history of the United States after the war of the North and the South, and the fourth – “Journey to the Red Planet” (1990) – about the expedition to Mars in the XXI century. Until 1990, Bisson did not write short stories, but published in 1990, the novella “Bears Open Fire” suddenly won the awards “Hugo”, “Nebula” and the memorial award of T. Sturgeon, confirming the opinion of M. Murcock, who once said that Bisson is a very curious author.
