(1945-    ) US writer and anthologist, in Australia since 1993. Most of the anthologies he has edited with Gardner Dozois (1947-2018) are fantasy. Dann began publishing work of genre interest with "Dark, Dark the Dead Star" and "Traps" for Worlds of If in 1970, both with George Zebrowski (1945-    ). His novels are all sf except The Memory Cathedral: A Secret History of Leonardo da Vinci (1995), which is fantasy. At the end of his days, Leonardo Da Vinci uses the eponymous Edifice to re-enter his life and relive it. Dann allows some ambiguity as to how literally this re-entry may be taken; but the life revealed itself contributes to a Fantasy of History, in which Leonardo invents working airplanes (travelling in one to the Middle East) and variously affects history.
