Timeline

1921

Donald Heiney (September 7, 1921 – July 24, 1993) was a sailor and academic as well as a prolific and inventive writer using the pseudonym of MacDonald Harris for fiction.

Heiney was born in South Pasadena, California, and grew up in South Pasadena and San Gabriel.

He served in the Merchant Marine and the Navy during World War II and afterward earned a B.A. from University of Redlands.

One of his students was Michael Chabon, who later won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

His distinguished colleagues included novelist Oakley Hall, Victorian scholar and poet Robert Peters, and literary critic Hillis Miller.

Publishers Weekly has described his work as "known for...metaphysics, hints of magic and the absurd, and a profound preoccupation with the duality of human nature," and the Chicago Tribune Book World called him "a gifted craftsman, a meticulous writer whose powers as a story teller are as compelling as the sexual tensions he imagines."

1976

His novel The Balloonist, published in 1976 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, tells the story of a polar expedition, similar to and possibly inspired by the real journey made by S. A. Andrée.

1977

The Balloonist was nominated for the National Book Award in 1977.

1982

He received a 1982 Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his entire body of work.
