Tom Godwin
Encyclopedia : T : TO : TOM : Tom Godwin
Tom Godwin (1915–1980) was a science fiction author. Godwin published several stories in Pulp magazines in the 1950's and 1960's. His controversial hard SF short story The Cold Equations is one the more acclaimed stories of that era. He also had three novels published, but these stayed more firmly in John W. Campbell's preferred styles and are less noted.
His life had apparently been a difficult one. After family tragedies he dropped out of school in the third grade. He also suffered from kyphosis and may have had difficulties with alcoholism later in life. This background, perhaps, explains some tendency toward sentimentalism in his works.
