Frederik Pohl#Works about Pohl

Pohl was the son of Frederik (originally Friedrich) George Pohl (a salesman of German descent) and Anna Jane Mason.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L25ycEzuXxIC&q=Anna+Frederik+George+Pohl&pg=PA1035 |title=Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature - R.

The family settled in Brooklyn when Pohl was around seven.{{cite web |url=http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2009/10/let-there-be-fandom-brooklyn-boyhood/ |title=Let There Be Fandom, Part 3: A Brooklyn Boyhood |website=Thewaythefutureblogs.com |date=October 2, 2009 |access-date=September 8, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120903040227/http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2009/10/let-there-be-fandom-brooklyn-boyhood/ |archive-date=September 3, 2012}}

While a teenager, he co-founded the New York–based Futurians fan group, and began lifelong friendships with Donald Wollheim, Isaac Asimov, and others who would become important writers and editors.{{cite web |url=http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2009/05/the-quadrumvirate |title=The Way the Future Blogs, an online memoir by science fiction writer Frederik Pohl - Blog Archive - The Quadrumvirate |website=Thewaythefutureblogs.com |date=May 8, 2009 |access-date=August 10, 2014}}{{cite web |url=http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2010/01/isaac/ |title=Isaac |publisher=The Way the Future Blogs |date=January 25, 2010 |access-date=March 14, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100728090550/http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2010/01/isaac/ |archive-date=July 28, 2010}} Pohl later said that other "friends came and went and were gone, [but] many of the ones I met through fandom were friends all their lives – Isaac, Damon Knight, Cyril Kornbluth, Dirk Wylie, [and] Dick Wilson. In fact, there are one or two – Jack Robins, Dave Kyle – whom I still count as friends, seventy-odd years later...." He published a science-fiction fanzine called Mind of Man.{{cite web |url=http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2009/06/the-poetry-corner-2/ |title=Poetry Corner |website=Thewaythefutureblogs.com |date=June 11, 2009 |access-date=September 8, 2012}}

In 1936, Pohl joined the Young Communist League because of its positions for unions and against racial prejudice, Adolf Hitler, and Benito Mussolini. He became president of the local Flatbush III Branch of the YCL in Brooklyn. Pohl has said that after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of 1939, the party line changed and he could no longer support it, at which point he left.The Way the Future Was, Frederik Pohl (Ballantine Books, 1978), pp. 93, 113.

During World War II, Pohl served in the United States Army from April 1943 until November 1945, rising to sergeant as an elite Air Corps weatherman. After training in Illinois, Oklahoma, and Colorado, he was mainly stationed in Italy with the 456th Bombardment Group.{{cite web |url=http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2011/03/hal-clement-major-harry-stubbs/ |title=Hal Clement: Major Harry Stubbs |website=The Way the Future Blogs |date=March 1, 2011 |access-date=September 8, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120723234730/http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2011/03/hal-clement-major-harry-stubbs/ |archive-date=July 23, 2012}}

Pohl was married five times. His first wife, Leslie Perri, was another Futurian; they were married in August 1940, and divorced in 1944. He then married Dorothy Les Tina in Paris in August 1945 while both were serving in the military in Europe; the marriage ended in 1947. During 1948, he married Judith Merril; they had a daughter, Ann. Pohl and Merril divorced in 1952. In 1953, he married Carol M. Ulf Stanton, with whom he had three children and collaborated on several books; they separated in 1977 and were divorced in 1983. From 1984 until his death, Pohl was married to science-fiction expert and academic Elizabeth Anne Hull.

He fathered four children – Ann (m.

Pohl began writing in the late 1930s, using pseudonyms for most of his early works. His first publication was the poem "Elegy to a Dead Satellite: Luna" under the name of Elton Andrews, in the October 1937 issue of Amazing Stories, edited by T. O'Conor Sloane.{{cite web |title=Fred's Pen Names |website=Thewaythefutureblogs.com |date=May 14, 2010 |url=http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2010/05/freds-pen-names/ |access-date=September 8, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100516151019/http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2010/05/freds-pen-names/ |archive-date=May 16, 2010}}{{cite web |url=http://www.thewaythefutureblogs.com/2009/01/the-poetry-corner/ |title=Elegy to a Dead Planet: Luna (The Poetry Corner) |website=Thewaythefutureblogs.com |date=January 30, 2009 |access-date=September 8, 2012}} (Pohl asked readers 30 years later, "we would take it as a personal favor if no one ever looked it up".{{cite magazine

}}) His first story, the collaboration with C.M. Kornbluth "Before the Universe", appeared in 1940 under the pseudonym S.D. Gottesman.

Pohl started a career as a literary agent in 1937, but it was a sideline for him until after World War II, when he began doing it full-time. Pohl stopped being Asimov's agent—the only one the latter ever had{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/stream/earlyasimovorele00asim#page/142/mode/2up |title=The early Asimov; or, Eleven years of trying |last=Asimov |first=Isaac |publisher=Doubleday |year=1972 |location=Garden City NY |pages=142–145}}—when he became editor from 1939 to 1943 of two pulp magazines, Astonishing Stories and Super Science Stories.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.locusmag.com/2000/Issues/10/Pohl.html |title=Frederik Pohl: Chasing Science |magazine=Locus Online |date=October 2000}} In his autobiography, Pohl said that he stopped editing the two magazines at roughly the time of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.

Stories by Pohl often appeared in these magazines, but never under his own name. Work written in collaboration with Cyril M. Kornbluth was credited to S. D. Gottesman or Scott Mariner; other collaborative work (with any combination of Kornbluth, Dirk Wylie, or Robert A. W. Lownes) was credited to Paul Dennis Lavond. For Pohl's solo work, stories were credited to James MacCreigh (or for one story only, Warren F. Howard.) Works by "Gottesman", "Lavond", and "MacCreigh" continued to appear in various science-fiction pulp magazines throughout the 1940s.

He also worked as an advertising copywriter and then as a copywriter and book editor for Popular Science.

Pohl co-founded the Hydra Club, a loose collection of science-fiction professionals and fans who met during the late 1940s and 1950s.{{cite web

From the early 1960s until 1969, Pohl served as editor of Galaxy Science Fiction and Worlds of If magazines, taking over after the ailing H. L. Gold could no longer continue working "around the end of 1960".Pohl, Frederik. The Way the Future Was (New York: Ballantine Books, 1978), pp. 221-2 Under his leadership, If won the Hugo Award for Best Professional Magazine for 1966, 1967 and 1968.{{cite web |url=http://www.worldcon.org/hc.html#pm |publisher=worldcon |title=The Hugo Awards by Category}} Pohl hired Judy-Lynn del Rey as his assistant editor at Galaxy and If. He also served as editor of Worlds of Tomorrow from its first issue in 1963 until it was merged into If in 1967.Ashley, Mike, Transformations: The Story of the Science Fiction Magazines from 1950 to 1970, Liverpool University Press (2005), {{ISBN|0-85323-779-4}}, p. 207.

In the mid-1970s, Pohl acquired and edited novels for Bantam Books, published as "A Frederik Pohl Selection"; these included Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgren and Joanna Russ's The Female Man. He also edited a number of science-fiction anthologies.

Though he retired his pen names "Gottesman", "Lavond", and "MacCreigh" by the early 1950s, Pohl still occasionally used pseudonyms, even after he began to publish work under his real name. These occasional pseudonyms, all of which date from the early 1950s to the early 1960s, included Charles Satterfield, Paul Flehr, Ernst Mason, Jordan Park (two collaborative novels with Kornbluth), and Edson McCann (one collaborative novel with Lester del Rey).

In the 1970s, Pohl re-emerged as a novel writer in his own right, with books such as Man Plus and the Heechee Saga series. He won back-to-back Nebula Awards with Man Plus in 1976 and Gateway, the first Heechee novel, in 1977. In 1978, Gateway swept the other two major novel honors, also winning the Hugo Award for Best Novel and John W. Campbell Memorial Award for the best science-fiction novel. Two of his stories have also earned him Hugo Awards: "The Meeting" (with Kornbluth) tied in 1973 and "Fermi and Frost" won in 1986. Another award-winning novel is Jem (1979), winner of the National Book Award.

His works include not only science fiction, but also articles for Playboy and Family Circle magazines and nonfiction books. For a time, he was the official authority for Encyclopædia Britannica on the subject of Emperor Tiberius. (He wrote a book on the subject of Tiberius, as "Ernst Mason".){{Cite web |date=September 8, 2010 |title=Congratulations to Britannica Contributor and 2010 Hugo Award Winner Frederik Pohl {{!}} Britannica Blog |url=http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2010/09/congratulations-to-britannica-contributor-and-2010-hugo-award-winner-frederik-pohl/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100911110756/http://www.britannica.com:80/blogs/2010/09/congratulations-to-britannica-contributor-and-2010-hugo-award-winner-frederik-pohl/ |archive-date=September 11, 2010 |access-date=November 18, 2024 |website=Britannica Blog}}

Some of his short stories take a satirical look at consumerism and advertising in the 1950s and 1960s: "The Wizards of Pung's Corners", where flashy, over-complex military hardware proved useless against farmers with shotguns, and "The Tunnel under the World", where an entire community of seeming-humans is held captive by advertising researchers. ("The Wizards of Pung's Corners" was freely translated into Chinese and then freely translated back into English as "The Wizard-Masters of Peng-Shi Angle" in the first edition of Pohlstars [1984]).

In his 1969 novel, "The Age of the Pussyfoot", Pohl speculated about a society where everyone could access knowledge and the means to communicate with others through a small handheld device similar to a smartphone. Although he set the novel 500 years in the future, he noted in an afterword that it might be as few as fifty years away. A short story "Day Million" suggested that society in the year 2737 might be as alien to us as contemporary society would be to someone from ancient times.

Pohl's Law is "Nothing is so good that somebody, somewhere will not hate it".{{cite web |url=https://www.searchquotes.com/search/Pohls_Law/ |title=Pohls Law Quotes |publisher=Searchquotes.com |date=August 9, 2012 |access-date=September 8, 2012}}

Starting in 1995, when the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award became a juried award, Pohl served first with James Gunn and Judith Merril, and since then with several others until retiring in 2013.{{cite web |title=Sturgeon Award |url=http://www.sfcenter.ku.edu/sturgeon.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121001134242/http://www.sfcenter.ku.edu/sturgeon.htm |archive-date=October 1, 2012 |access-date=May 29, 2023 }} Pohl was associated with Gunn since the 1940s, becoming involved in 1975 with what later became Gunn's Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. There, he presented many talks, recorded a discussion about "The Ideas in Science Fiction" in 1973{{cite book |title=Literature of Science Fiction lecture |publisher=Literature of Science Fiction series |year=1973 |oclc=11611519}} for the Literature of Science Fiction Lecture Series,{{cite web |url=http://www.sfcenter.ku.edu/lecture-series.htm |title=Literature of Science Fiction lecture |access-date=September 3, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200731204918/http://www.sfcenter.ku.edu/lecture-series.htm |archive-date=July 31, 2020}} and served the Intensive Institute on Science Fiction and Science Fiction Writing Workshop.{{cite web |title=Science Fiction Writers Workshop |url=https://adastra-sf.com/Workshop-stuff/Spec-Fic-Workshop.htm |website=Speculative Fiction Writing Workshop}}

In addition to his solo writings, Pohl was also well known for his collaborations, beginning with his first published story. Before and following the war, Pohl did a series of collaborations with his friend Cyril Kornbluth, including a large number of short stories and several novels, among them The Space Merchants, a dystopian satire of a world ruled by the advertising agencies.A belated sequel, The Merchants' War (1984) was written by Pohl alone, after Kornbluth's death. Pohl's The Merchants of Venus was an unconnected 1972 novella that includes biting satire on runaway free-market capitalism and first introduced the Heechee.

In the mid-1950s, he began a long-running collaboration with Jack Williamson, eventually resulting in 10 collaborative novels over five decades.

Other collaborations included a novel with Lester Del Rey, Preferred Risk (1955). This novel was solicited for a contest by Galaxy–Simon & Schuster when the judges did not think any of the contest submissions was good enough to win their contest. It was published under the joint pseudonym Edson McCann.Frederik Pohl, The Way the Future Was, Ballantine Books (1978), He also collaborated with Thomas T. Thomas on a sequel to his award-winning novel Man Plus. He wrote two short stories with Isaac Asimov in the 1940s, both published in 1950.Asimov, Isaac (1974). The Early Asimov Volume 2, Panther Books, pp. 134 and 197-198. {{ISBN|0-586-03936-8}}

He finished a novel begun by Arthur C. Clarke, The Last Theorem, which was published on August 5, 2008.
