Download As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling AudioBook Free
In Twilight Area reruns, I search for my father in the person on the display screen, but I can't always find him there. Instead, he shows up in unexpected ways. Storage area summoned with a certain light, a color, a smell - and I see him again on the porch of our own old red lakeside cottage, where I danced on the steps as a child. To Anne Serling, the imposing shape the public observed web host The Twilight Area every week, intoning cautionary observations about destiny, chance, and humanity, was not the father she recognized. Her fun-loving father would play on the floor with the pet dogs, had nicknames for everybody in the family, and was likely to put a lampshade on his brain and break out in melody. He was her best ally, her playmate, and her confidant. After his unexpected fatality at 50, Anne, just 20, was still left stunned. Steadily, she found solace for her grief - talking to his friends, poring over old correspondence, and saving her childhood stories. Now she shares eloquent, revealing characters and wonderfully rendered scenes of his youth, warfare years, and their family's time alongside one another. Idyllic summers in upstate New York, the years in LA, and the myriad ways he packed their time with laughter, strength, and endearing silliness - each is captured here with profound affection and candor. Though begun in loss, Anne's account is a special event of her incredible romantic relationship with her daddy and the characteristics she came up to prize through him - empathy, kindness, and an uncompromising sense of social justice. As I Knew Him is a lyrical, intimate tribute to Rod Serling's legacy as visionary, storyteller, and humanist, and a moving testament to the love between fathers and daughters.
