Originally from Bronx, N.Y., Hargreaves was a pioneer of Canadian short fiction as well as having an academic career that culminated with him retiring as a professor emeritus of English Literature at the University of Alberta.[1]

Hargreaves released an introspective memoir Growing Up Bronx: A Memoir of my Shapers and Shakers[9] in 2012.

In 2015, Hargreaves was inducted into the Canadian Science Fiction & Fantasy Association Hall of Fame,[10] whilst living in retirement in Claresholm, Alberta, with his wife.[11]
