Biography
US academic and critic who took his PhD in English Language and Literature at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) and worked for 35 years at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) from 1971.
In 2006, Richard D. Erlich retired from Miami University, where he taught English since 1971 and Film Studies courses since the 1980s, including courses in SF and SF film. He is the author of Coyote's Song: The Teaching Stories of Ursula K. Le Guin, "A Science Fiction Research Association Digital Book." With the help of Thomas P. Dunn and others, he compiled Clockworks: A Multimedia Bibliography of Works Useful for the Study of the Human/Machine Interface in SF (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1993). The work of that Bibliography is continued in "Clockworks 2: The Supplement," an on-line wiki.
With Thomas P. Dunn, he solicited essays for, assembled, and edited the anthologies Clockwork Worlds: Mechanized Environments in SF (Greenwood, 1983) and The Mechanical God: Machines in Science Fiction (Greenwood, 1982). Most recently he published "Le Guin and God: Quarreling with the One, Critiquing Pure Reason," Extrapolation 47.3 (Winter 2006): 351-79. He currently lives in Ventura County in California and does odd jobs in hard-copy editing and movie pre-production.
