	Gardner Dozois (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Gardner Dozois is easily one of the most influential living editors of science fiction.
		Dozois has edited numerous critically acclaimed anthologies, including every edition of the multi-award-winning series The Year's Best Science Fiction (the 22nd annual collection of which was just released in July).
		Gardner Dozois: Well, my major purpose was to put together a collection of good stories; an anthology editor forgets that part to his peril, no matter how many aesthetic/political axes he has to grind.

	Boing Boing: Gardner Dozois stepping down from Asimov's
		Gardner's won the Hugo for best editor 14 times, making him one of the award-winningest editors in the history of the field, and the stories in Asimov's are stunningly well-represented at every year's Nebula and Hugo awards.
		Dozois popularized the term "cyberpunk" and was a midwife for the literary movement.
		Gardner's also the first editor to have bought a story from me for a pro market, and the first Year's Best editor to buy a reprint from me, for his definitive, astonishing, long running Year's Best Sceince Fiction anthologies.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		Dozois is not hesitant to label his early work "pretentious" and claim that it hardly influenced the course of Western civilization—or even the SF field.
		Swanwick too—for he appears both as MC and as co-conspirator with Dozois on many stories—exhibits a clear-eyed view of the whole story-writing process, its glory and also its crazy, debilitating aspects.
		Swanwick tirelessly holds Dozois' feet to the fire to elicit the symbolism of his stories, and he formulates a general list of tropes and tricks which Dozois likes to employ, allowing us to appreciate the patterns that span Dozois' career.

	Michael Swanwick Online: Profile of Gardner Dozois
		Because Gardner's day job happens to be editing Asimov's, a position which he inherited from Shawna McCartha who in turn inherited it from George Scithers.
		Yet I believe that it is Gardner Dozois who will be forever associated with the magazine, much as Campbell is with Analog and Ross with the New Yorker, regardless how able those who follow him may be.
		I saw Gardner only a day or two after he got the Asimov's gig, and I am here to testify that what he was ecstatic about was not the money or the influence or the status of the thing, but the chance to place some of those stories in print.

	Gardner Dozois: The Year's Best Science Fiction - an infinity plus review
		Gardner Dozois' annual gathering of his favourite short sf has become something of a benchmark for the genre.
		As Dozois says in his comprehensive summation of the year in sf, "...the field is wide and various enough for there to be a number of best volumes..." But as he modestly omits to say, if you like literate, character-driven, hard-edged science fiction then you cannot find many better guides than Gardner Dozois.
		According to the cover, that is. The text is taken straight from the American edition, so whenever Dozois refers to the 4th, 8th, 12th or whatever-th Annual Collection (as he does in almost every one of his story introductions), what he actually means in the UK is the 0th, 4th, 8th or whatever(-4)th.

	Gardner Dozois: The Year's Best Science Fiction (1998) - an infinity plus review
		This is Dozois' fifteenth annual selection of the best short sf (the eleventh to be published in the UK) and, as ever, we can all spend a long time arguing point by point over the contents list.
		Over the years, Gardner Dozois has earned our trust: he does the job more reliably than any of the others who have tried over the last two decades.
		In this volume, Dozois presents a mixture of old hands (Silverberg, Kress, Benford); the current crop (Baxter, Egan, McDonald); and some rising stars (which include both newcomers like Carolyn Ives Gilman and Bill Johnson, and established names who haven't figured in the year's best stakes until recently, such as Gwyneth Jones and Peter Hamilton).

	Gardner Dozois, editor, Galileo's Children: Tales of Science vs. Superstition
		Veteran editor Gardner Dozois explains in his preface that science fiction has long been a political battleground, and I'm inclined to agree.
		James Alan Gardner uses this alternate history to point out how ridiculously arbitrary are the reasons different religious groups will condemn or wage war on each other.
		When you think about the blood shed over religion in our own history, and the political battles still raging today, it is not hard to imagine a world wherein the most important thing you need know about another person is analogous to their blood-type.

	Amazon.com: The Year's Best Science Fiction Twenty-third Annual Collection (Year's Best Science Fiction): Books: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dozois' Amazon Short in which he describes how he goes about preparing his annual best-of volume and in which he recommends that the volume be read cover to cover without skipping through the various stories.
		Dozois' efforts is to start at the beginning and read straight through--despite the fact that the volume presents many different stories and styles, there is an impact carefully designed by the editor that requires this approach.
		Dozois also prefers stories that are more about millieu and atmosphere rather than stories filled with metaphor or operate on some kind of ironic level (as did the stories in the old Wollheim/Carr anthologies).

	Michael Swanwick & Gardner Dozois, November 10, 1998
		Gardner: I refer to "vacuum flowers," which I've seen popping up as part of the standard SF furniture in lots of novels and stories of the '90s.
		Gardner: The New Wave was one of the things that went into the meld to make up Cyberpunk, just as Cyberpunk is one of the things that went into the meld to make up the Baroque Space Opera of the '90s.
		Gardner: The funny thing is that Bruce is really one of the more enthusiastic SF readers of anyone of his generation.

	Locus Online: Nick Gevers reviews Michael Swanwick/Gardner Dozois
		What Being Gardner Dozois does present is a complete picture of Dozois the Writer, by means of a blow-by-blow, text-by-text discussion of his each and every work of fiction, short and long, major and minor.
		Michael Swanwick knows Dozois well, and has collaborated with him on a number of stories, so his interviewer's insight is ready made; further, he has a quality of sardonic intelligence that lends his questions an especial bite.
		Gardner Dozois has a centrality to American SF that transcends his creative efforts, however striking they are in their own right.

	SCIFI.COM Chat Transcript: David Hartwell, Gardner Dozois, and Ellen Datlow, June 22, 1999
		Gardner: Apparently the hip in advice a few years back from horror agents was that you shouldn't allow your stories to be reprinted anywhere other than in your only short story collections.
		Gardner: Both David and I wanted to use the same story a few years back, and both of us were turned down--which I still think was the wrong decision on the part of the agent.
		Gardner: The year or two that Le Guin was producing new Ekumen stories, she was hard to beat.

	The Year's Best Science Fiction edited by Gardner Dozois
		The only thing missing was Gardner Dozois' annual report of all things SF but then again, the 'year' wouldn't be complete before the advance copy and I at least had a grateful jump start this year.
		With Gardner Dozois stepping down from his editorial post at 'Asimov's Magazine', hopefully he's do a little independent looking around on the Net himself.
		Gardner Dozois' report illustrates something that any conscientious SF fan will know is that although the number of SF books out there is growing slightly, the opposite is beginning to show on TV, largely cos of the cheap so-called 'reality shows' per advertising revenue profit in the US.

		Dozois, started #5 in his Year's Best with Murphy's 'Rachel in Love', which was one heck of a way to start an anthology.
		Dozois normally recounts the number of times a particular author has appeared in the Year's Best series to date.
		Or as Dozois more delicately puts it, there is '..a sudden overwhelming problem that even the most far-sighted and Machiavellian of plotters could not have been expected to see coming'.

	Galileo's Children: Tales of Science vs. Superstition by Gardner Dozois - Official sffworld.com review
		Gardner Dozois's latest anthology, Galileo's Children is subtitled Tales Superstition vs Science, but it could also be argued that these wonderful tales present human achievement and the human condition at the intersection, and/or conflict, of science and faith.
		Dozois is one of the most respected and recognized names in the genre, so I had an inkling that the stories were going to be good.
		Each introduction is an insightful encapsulation of the writer, which serves to contextualize each story as a part of the greater whole of the anthology.

	Nebula Awards Showcase 2006 by Gardner Dozois
		Editor Gardner Dozois’ mission: put together a manageably-sized sampler of the latest Nebula-winning novella, novelette, short story, selected short form finalists, and an excerpt of the year’s best novel.
		Intelligent, touching and humorous are words that come to mind, as we meet Helva, the starship who sings, in a story that inspired a series of stories and novels, including collaborative and solo efforts with S.M. Stirling, Mercedes Lackey, and Jody Lynn Nye.
		My hat’s off to Dozois for selecting a tale like McCaffrey’s as a referent point to set the bar and to remind us that stellar writing is at the root of the best in SF.

		Gardner's degree of narrative excitement generally helps the reader quickly decide which stories to enjoy first.
		As always, Gardner Dozois came through with a great overview of the year in science fiction.
		That said, Gardner Dozois does a reasonably good job of sorting out the wheat from the chaff and including mostly good stories.

	Gardner Dozois, editor, The Year's Best Science Fiction: 19th Annual Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If there is one book that I would, without hesitation, encourage every science fiction reader to pick up each year, it's Gardner Dozois's annual best-of-the-year anthology.
		This 19th annual anthology is a big book, containing 26 stories, and it comes with a hefty price tag due to its publication in hardcover or trade paperback formats only.
		Dozois has devoted his distinguished career to science fiction short stories and, while I may not agree with every piece he puts forward as "best," he's an excellent guide.

	Strange Horizons Reviews: One Million A.D. edited by Gardner Dozois, reviewed by Matthew Cheney
		One of the basic working definitions of science fiction as opposed to fantasy hinges on the idea of plausibility: science fiction stories portray events the reader thinks might possibly be able to happen, while fantasy stories portray events the reader knows are impossible.
		One Million A.D. is one example after another of why people writing about the far future would probably be better off thinking of themselves as fantasy writers than as science fiction writers—the attempt to write plausible science fiction has, in most of these stories, limited the authors' imaginations and forced their tales into dullness.
		Johanna Sinisalo, herself a prolific author and winner of the Finlandia Prize, has assembled a masterful collection of Finnish tales of the fantastic for this latest volume in the Dedalus European Fantasy series.

		If you're interested in quality science fiction, Gardner Dozois's annual Year's Best collection is a treasure trove.
		But overwhelmingly, the stories Dozois has chosen to represent the science fiction field for the year 2003 are terrific.
		Particularly impressive is the Steven Popkes story, "The Ice," which concerns a young hockey player who learns he's the clone of one of the greatest athletes the game has seen, Gordie Howe.

	Strange Days: Fabulous Journeys with Gardner Dozois
		This book is published for The Millennium Philcon to honor Gardner Dozois on the occasion of his being Guest of Honor.
		The bulk of it is composed of stories, of course: some that Dozois has written solo, and others written in collaboration with other writers including Susan Casper and Michael Swanwick.
		Their original print appearances may have been some time ago, but Dozois stories are intensely memorable; the mixture of high-impact emotion with vivid sensory detail makes them hard to shake off, even years after an initial reading.

		Last year's volume was a departure for me, as it was the first one I had read having had read a fair amount of magazine SF in the year it covered.
		I like his work, and so does Gardner Dozois, who is putting two of his recent stories in his forthcoming Annual Collection.
		Dozois finally chooses an Analog story, although not IMHO one of their best.
