Elizabeth Hand remembers Thomas Disch: “An openly gay man for most of his working life, Disch wrote mysteries,
historical novels and neo-gothic satires; children’s books, including ‘The Brave Little Toaster’ and its sequel; at least five collections of short fiction; 15 volumes of poetry, always as Tom Disch; plays and libretti; four volumes of nonfiction; screen adaptations, novelizations and one of the first interactive computer games.”
