Incredibly, while there were online birthday greetings on his 75th birthday,
I can't find any regarding today!
Born in NYC, he now lives in the San Francisco area.
I knew him for "Lost Race of Mars" and "The Great Doctors."

I read "Lost Race of Mars" in 5th Grade and over the years forgot the name and title. Eventually it became my first YASID asked in this group.

I think that his last novel was _Roma Eterna_ in 2003; he’s
written a few shorter Majipoor pieces since then.

No new novels since 2003, but he remains a moderately prolific essayist
