Tom Godwin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Godwin (1915–1980) was a science fiction author. Godwin published three novels and thirty short stories. His controversial hard SF short story The Cold Equations is one of 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.
