Wikipedia
John Crowley (; December 1, 1942 – August 8, 2026) was an American author of fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, and non-fiction. He studied at Indiana University and had a second career as a documentary film writer.
Crowley was best known as the author of Little, Big (1981), a work which received the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and was called "a neglected masterpiece" by Harold Bloom, and his Ægypt series of novels, which revolve around the same themes of Hermeticism, memory, families and religion. His novel Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr (2017) won the Mythopoeic Award in 2018 and was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, while critics compared it in scope and ambition to Crowley's earlier works Little, Big and the Aegypt cycle.
