経歴と著者の歩み
George R.R. Martin was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, in 1948, the son of a longshoreman, and began writing almost as soon as he could imagine worlds, first selling monster stories to neighborhood children for pennies. At Northwestern University he studied journalism, earning a B.S. in 1970 and an M.S. in 1971, and his first professional fiction sale, “The Hero,” came at the same moment his adult career was beginning. After alternative service with VISTA, chess work, and teaching in Iowa, he became a full-time writer in 1979, carrying with him both a reporter’s instinct for detail and a lifelong attachment to fandom.
