A Retrospective fiction Checklist
As of 31 December 2002
By Leslie Kay Swigart
University Library, California State University, Long Beach
This retrospective checklist of the professionally published fiction of George R. R. Martin is the initial issue of a larger project which is to be as complete and thorough a bibliography of the work by and about George R. R. Martin as may be created by diligence, persistence, and sheer dogged research. In this future bibliography I hope to provide meticulously detailed bibliographic descriptions of all known editions, versions, adaptations, and translations of all books, scripts, short fiction, and nonfiction by Mr Martin, as well as an annotated bibliography of all known reviews, interviews, articles, and biographical works about Mr Martin and his work.
This retrospective checklist is a much more modest effort. The focus of this listing is on the first English-language professional print publications of his books, the books he has edited, and his short fiction. For the books, only the first American and British English language editions are given, with no attempt to track the reprintings of these or other editions. There is a note of those foreign languages and nonprint formats into which they are known to have been translated. The short fiction and scripts are listed chronologically by year, then alphabetically by title, with the first publication or first air dates given, along with appearances in his collections, and any translations or nonprint formats.
This project began, although I was then unaware of it, one late June weekend in 1973 in Dallas, Texas. I was attending D-Con ‘73, a comics- and science fiction-oriented convention, as the author of Harlan Ellison: A Bibliographical Checklist, which was being published that weekend by the convention chairman, Joe Bob Williams, in honor of the con’s guest of honor, Harlan Ellison. In attendance at the con was a group of young writers, most of whom knew each other through their SF or comics connections. Among these writers were Howard Waldrop, Steve Utley, and George R. R. Martin.
As far as any evidence exists, I next ran into George at the Science Fiction Writers of America’s Nebula Awards weekend in spring 1974 where George took a photo of a very young and startled looking me which I still have. By DisCon II (32nd World Science Fiction Convention, Washington, D.C., 1974), our acquaintance was off and running (literally!). Over the years there have been many conversations, mail and email exchanged, and meals shared, as well as the occasional convention.
After a while, as George’s writing career continued to prosper, there were thoughts and desultory discussion about my doing a bibliography of George’s work along the lines of the one I’d done on Ellison. Then, while attending a party at Conjose (60th World SF Convention, San Jose, California) in 2002, George asked me if I’d be interested in doing a modest bibliography for the collection of his work that was being proposed for publication in time for his Guest of Honor gig at Torcon III (61 st World SF Convention in Toronto) the next year. If so, he would broach the subject with his publisher, William Schafer of Subterranean Press. Then, in late September an email arrived with the subject line of ‘wanna do my bibliography?’ Schafer was interested. Emails were exchanged. Et voila!
