H. A. Hargreaves

Henry A. Hargreaves, Ph.D. (born 1928) is a prolific Canadian science fiction writer. Originialy from Bronx, N.Y., Hargreaves has spent a life establishing himself as a pioneer of Canadian short fiction, among a higher pursuit of academics, with a distinguished career of tenure spanning three decades, and retiring a professor emeritus of English Literature at the University of Alberta.[1]

His short fiction was collected in one of Canadian science fiction's earliest anthologies: North By 2000, published in 1975 and was re-issued as North by 2000+[2] in 2012 with additional material,[3] with such short stories as "Fore" - Eight - Sixteen,[4] In His Moccasins,[5][6] Infinite Variation,[7] and 2020 Vision.[8]

With a return to his roots, Hargreaves released an introspective memoir Growing Up Bronx: A Memoir of my Shapers and Shakers[9] in 2012. Met with favorable reviews, his foray into non-fiction was a fine complement to an already substantial body of work.

In 2015, Dr. Hargreaves was honored with a prestigious induction into the Canadian Science Fiction & Fantasy Association Hall of Fame,[10] whilst living in retirement in the solitude of Claresholm, Alberta, with his wife.[11]
