Ballard and Mark Twain. He is a recipient of the Nebula Award, the World Fantasy Award, the Australian Aurealis Award (twice), the Ditmar Award (twice), and the Premios Gilgam s de Narrative Fantastica award. He 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 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.
His novel about the American Civil War, The Silent, was chosen by Library Journal as one of their "Hot Picks". His latest novel-in-progress, Second Chance, is about James Dean.
Jack Dann lives in Melbourne, Australia and "commutes" back and forth to Los Angeles and New York.
