by Jerry Sohl
In 1958 we moved to California where my father wanted to break into television. At an SF convention my father met 4 other SF writers, Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont, Theodore Sturgeon, and George Clayton Johnson. They called themselves “The Green Hand” (a play on the “Black Hand” of the Mafia). But the television producers didn’t seem to understand what they were pitching, because when ever the producers were visited it was always with one person at a time; so they finally gave up and went their separate ways.
As one biography put it, Jerry Sohl delighted in contributing to viewers’ sleepless nights.
The overall feeling he had was that it would have been a mistake for him to do anything else.
In a 1988 interview he said, “Then you have people come up to you and say ’I really loved that novel. It changed my life.’ I get so much of that and it is a tremendous feeling of accomplishment. What it all comes down to is that it has all been great fun and should I die in the next minute I don’t think I would regret anything I’ve done.”
People are made for what they do–and my father was indeed made for writing. It was the only thing he wanted to do.
