BIOGRAPHY
Ray Nayler is the author of the critically acclaimed, Locus Award winning novel The Mountain in the Sea, published in the US by MCDxFSG and in the UK by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. The Washington Post called Mountain "(a) poignant, mind-expanding debut." David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas, said: "I loved this novel’s brain and heart, its hidden traps, sheer propulsion, ingenious world-building and the purity of its commitment to luminous ideas."
Positively reviewed in the New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, Publisher's Weekly and many other outlets, The Mountain in the Sea was a finalist for the Nebula Award, the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and for the LA Times Book Awards' Ray Bradbury Award for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculative Fiction. Mountain was named a London Times science fiction book of the year, and Esquire listed it as one of the best science fiction books of all time.
Ray's second book, the novella The Tusks of Extinction, was published in January 2024. Amal El-Mohtar of The New York Times called it " A compact novella that reads like a superb science fiction inversion of Ernest Hemingway’s 'The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.'" The Washington Post wrote that the book is "both breathtaking and heartbreaking" and Publishers Weekly said Tusks is "impassioned and impressive . . . an uncompromising climate fiction that strikes like a spear to the gut."
Born in Quebec and raised in California, Ray Nayler lived and worked abroad for two decades in Russia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Vietnam, and Kosovo as a Foreign Service officer, a Peace Corps volunteer, and an international development worker. A Russian speaker, he has also learned Turkmen, Albanian, Azerbaijani, and Vietnamese. In Vietnam he was Environment, Science, Technology, and Health Officer at the U.S. consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. Ray most recently served as international advisor to the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and as a diplomatic fellow and visiting scholar at the George Washington University's Institute for International Science and Technology Policy. He holds an MA in Global Diplomacy from the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at SOAS, the University of London.
Called "one of the up-and-coming masters of SF short fiction," by Locus magazine, Ray began publishing in the genre in 2015 in the pages of Asimov’s with the short story "Mutability". Since then, his critically acclaimed stories have seen print in Clarkesworld, Analog, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Lightspeed, Vice (Terraform), and Nightmare, as well as in several Locus Recommended Reading lists and many “Best of the Year” anthologies. His short story collection Protectorats won the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire, France's highest literary prize for science fiction. His story "Yesterday's Wolf" won the 2022 Clarkesworld Readers' poll. In the same year, his story, "Muallim" won the Asimov's Readers' Award, his story "Father", in French translation, won the Bifrost readers' award, and his novelette "Sarcophagus" was a finalist for the Theodore Sturgeon Award. Ray's story "Winter Timeshare” from the January/February 2017 issue of Asimov's was collected by the late Gardner Dozois in The Very Best of the Best: 35 Years of the Year's Best Science Fiction.
Ray has published work in many genres, from mainstream literary fiction to comics. His short stories have appeared in Ellery Queen, Crimewave, Hardboiled, Cemetery Dance, Deathrealm, Queen's Quarterly, and the Berkeley Fiction Review, among other journals. His opinion pieces have appeared in TIME, New Scientist and at LitHub. He is a widely published poet, with work in the Atlanta Review, the Beloit Poetry Journal, Weave, Juked, Able Muse, Sentence, and many more.
Ray currently lives in Washington, DC with his wife Anna, their daughter Lydia, and two rescued cats – one Tajik, one American. Ray is represented by Seth Fishman at the Gernert Company.
