In
the Zone
The Twilight World of
Rod Serling
Peter Wolfe
Popular Press
The classic television show The Twilight Zone explored
the possibilities inhering in the ordinary. A Twilight Zone
episode moved us by being poignant and intimate, rambunctious
or thought provoking. But whether it takes place on an asteroid,
in a city pool room, or in the backwoods, it will usually convey
both a folklorist's eye for detail and the born raconteur's sense
of pace. Rod Serling, the show's originator, main scriptwriter,
and artistic director, knew how much burden he could place on
his rhetorical and dramatic gifts. Deservedly celebrated as a
pioneer fiction writer for television, Serling always grounded
his work in the human condition: he wrote movingly about history
and loyalty, the grip of everyday reality, and the dangers of
both forgetting about one's ghosts and giving them the upper
hand.
