Timeline

1928

Alan Edward Nourse (August 11, 1928 – July 19, 1992) was an American science fiction writer and physician.

He wrote both juvenile and adult science fiction, as well as nonfiction works about medicine and science.

His SF works sometimes focused on medicine and/or psionics.

His most notable pen name was Doctor X.

He used this pseudonym when writing for a medical column in a science fiction magazine, allowing him to combine his expertise in medicine with his passion for science fiction.

Alan Nourse was born August 11, 1928, to Benjamin and Grace (Ogg) Nourse in Des Moines, Iowa.

He attended high school in Long Island, New York.

He served in the U.S. Navy after World War II.

1951

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1951 from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

1952

He married Ann Morton on June 11, 1952, in Linden, New Jersey.

1955

He received a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree in 1955 from the University of Pennsylvania.

1958

He served his one-year internship at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle and practiced medicine in North Bend, Washington, from 1958 to 1963 and also pursued his writing career.

He had helped pay for his medical education by writing science fiction for magazines.

After retiring from medicine, he continued writing.

His regular column in Good Housekeeping magazine earned him the nickname "Family Doctor".

He was a friend of fellow author Avram Davidson.

1964

Robert A. Heinlein dedicated his 1964 novel Farnham's Freehold to Nourse.

1970

In the late 1970s an attempt to adapt The Bladerunner for the screen was made, with Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs commissioned to write a story treatment; no film was ever developed but the story treatment was later published as the novella Blade Runner (a movie).

1982

Heinlein in part dedicated his 1982 novel Friday to Nourse's wife Ann.

His novel The Bladerunner lent its name to the Blade Runner movie, but no other aspects of its plot or characters (which were taken from Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?).

1992

He died on July 19, 1992, in Thorp, Washington.
