{"product_id":"rod-serling-nicholas-parisi-9781496817501","title":"Rod Serling: His Life, Work, and Imagination","description":"Long before anyone had heard of alien cookbooks, gremlins on the wings of airplanes, or places where pig-faced people are considered beautiful, Rod Serling was the most prestigious writer in American television. As creator, host, and primary writer for \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Zone\u003c\/i\u003e, Serling became something more: an American icon. When Serling died in 1975, at the age of fifty, he was the most honored, most outspoken, most recognizable, and likely the most prolific writer in television history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Though best known for \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Zone\u003c\/i\u003e, Serling wrote over 250 scripts for film and television and won an unmatched six Emmy Awards for dramatic writing for four different series. His filmography includes the acclaimed political thriller \u003ci\u003eSeven Days in May\u003c\/i\u003e and cowriting the original \u003ci\u003ePlanet of the Apes\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In great detail and including never-published insights drawn directly from Serling's personal correspondence, unpublished writings, speeches, and unproduced scripts, Nicholas Parisi explores Serling's entire, massive body of work. With a foreword by Serling's daughter, Anne Serling, \u003ci\u003eRod Serling: His Life, Work, and Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e is part biography, part videography, and part critical analysis. It is a painstakingly researched look at \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e of Serling's work--in and out of\u003ci\u003e The Twilight Zone.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Parisi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496817508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496817501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2019","brand":"Nicholas Parisi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985885069567,"sku":"9781496817501","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c2166f6-6929-428a-af04-3d2e76aa116b.jpg?v=1683280114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rod-serling-nicholas-parisi-9781496817501","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
