ALDISS, Brian W. (1925) English novelist and anthologist, who has played a leading roie in raising science fiction to the level of a serious literary form. His own novels cover a wide spectrum, from remote imagined worlds to stories "merely coloured by the presence of the future"; and are energetically and vividly written. Less well known is his series of semi-autobiographical novels starting with The Hand-Reared Boy (1970), which are bawdy reminiscences of life in the British army and elsewhere. His Billion Year Spree (1973) is a fine general history of science fiction. His stories are possibly his best work.
