Jack Dann
Jack Dann is a multiple award-winning author who has written or edited over fifty books. His work has been compared to Jorge Luis Borges, Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, Castaneda, J. G. Ballard, and Mark Twain. He is a recipient of the Nebula Award, the Australian Aurealis Award (twice), the Ditmar Award, and the Premios Gilgamés de Narrativa Fantastica award. Dann has also been honoured by the Mark Twain Society (Esteemed Knight).
Library Journal has called Dann ". . . a true poet who can create pictures with a few perfect words", Best Sellers has said that "Jack Dann is a mind-warlock whose magicks will confound, disorient, shock, and delight", and The Washington Post Book World compared his novel The Man Who Melted with Ingmar Bergman's classic film The Seventh Seal.
Dann's international bestseller The Memory Cathedral has been published in ten languages to date. The San Francisco Chronicle called it "a grand accomplishment", and the Australian Book Review thought it was "as much a pleasure to the senses as it is to the intellect". The Memory Cathedral won the Australian Aurealis Award in 1997, was #1 on The Age bestseller list, and a story based on the novel was awarded the Nebula Award. It was also shortlisted for the Audio Book of the Year, which was part of the 1998 Braille & Talking Book Library Awards.
Dann is also the co-editor (with Janeen Webb) of the groundbreaking Australian Dreaming Down-Under anthologies, which Peter Goldsworthy has called "the biggest, boldest, most controversial collection of original fiction ever published in Australia". Other scheduled books include several anthologies and Counting Coup, a contemporary road novel, which has already been called "a vivid and compelling vision-quest through the dark back roads and blue highways of the American soul".
