Tucker is also noted for using the names of fellow fans and other friends in his fiction, to the point where the literary term for doing so is now called tuckerization. He worked instead as a movie projectionist and theater electrician.
Although Tucker has written more than twenty novels, both science fiction and mystery, he has always viewed writing as an avocation instead of an occupation. His most famous novel may be The Year of the Quiet Sun (1970), which won the John W. He also turned his attention to writing novels, with eleven mystery novels and a dozen science fiction novels to his credit. In 1941, Tucker published his first short story, "Interstellar Way Station." Between 19 he produced twenty-five science fiction short stories. On multiple occasions fallacious reports of his death have been made. Active in letter-writing as well, Tucker has long been a popular fan, coining many phrases familiar in fandom. He published the Bloomington News Letter from his home in Bloomington, Illinois which dealt with the writing field. From 1938 to 1975, he published the fanzine Le Zombie, which lasted for more than sixty issues and later was revived as a webzine. Tucker became involved in science fiction fandom in 1932 and in that decade began publishing a fanzine, The Planetoid. He occasionally publishes under the name Bob Tucker.
Arthur Wilson "Bob" Tucker (born November 23, 1914) is an American mystery and science fiction writer and fan.
