Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: James Gunn





New York Times, 2/11/2021
But Mr. Gunn had been so emboldened when his first two stories were published that he went on to make science fiction his career. He edited 10 anthologies of science fiction and wrote about 30 books, including his last novel, “Transformation” (2017), and some 100 short stories, including one he submitted shortly before he died at 97 on Dec. 23 in Lawrence, Kan. 
His death, which was not widely reported at the time, was announced by the University of Kansas, where he taught his first English class in 1955 and founded the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction in 1982.
