In the history of letters, Kim Stanley Robinson is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Kim Stanley Robinson as American science fiction writer (born 1952).
Kim Stanley Robinson was born at Waukegan in 1952. His recorded nationality is United States. He was educated at Boston University and University of California, San Diego.
Twentieth-century writing was shaped by war, exile and translation; many of its major careers were conducted across more than one language and country.
He worked as novelist, writer and science fiction writer.
The writing is recorded in English.
His work is classed as science fiction.
Among his best-known works are Three Californias Trilogy and The Ministry for the Future. A writer's real subject usually becomes visible only across the whole body of work.
Recognition followed: Nebula Award for Best Novella (1988), Nebula Award for Best Novel (1994) and Hugo Award for Best Novel (1994).
That the work was written from United States matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
