Tompkins County Public Library will host Anne
Serling for a reading and signing of her acclaimed memoir, “As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling,” July 10 at 6 p.m. in
the BorgWarner Community Room.
To television fans, Rod Serling was a visionary. As creator, screenwriter, producer and narrator of “The Twilight Zone,” Serling earned praise for using fantasy to address social issues like racism, nuclear war and mass hysteria—themes routinely censored from dramatic television. At home, however, Serling was a playmate, confidante and adoring father to his children, Jodi and Anne.
“As I Knew Him,” beautifully chronicles the behind-the-scenes life of one of the most renowned names in television history. From family nicknames to eloquently written letters, candid snapshots to memories of laughter, strength, war and family, “As I Knew Him,” offers an intimate look at the father behind the fame and proves that there is more than one gifted writer in the Serling family.
Before pursuing a full-time writing career, Anne Serling served as an early childhood educator. She is currently working on a novel, “Aftershocks.” She serves on the board of directors of the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation and is involved with Binghamton School of the Arts “Fifth Dimension” program.
Serling’s Library reading is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248 or cwheeler@tcpl.org.
