Manly Wade Wellman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manly Wade Wellman (1931).

Manly Wade Hampton Wellman (born May 21, 1903 in Kamundongo, Portuguese West Africa ; died April 5, 1986 in Chapel Hill , North Carolina ) was an American writer best known for his science fiction , fantasy , and horror stories .

Life

Wellman was the youngest child in a versatile family. His father, Frederick Creighton Wellman, was a doctor, gifted painter, and author. His mother was Lydia, née Isely. His eldest brother, Paul I. Wellman, was a western novelist, and his brother, Frederick Lovejoy Wellman, was a plant physiologist , agronomist, and leading specialist in coffee diseases. His sister Alice Wellman was the author of several novels and a book on witchcraft and voodoo .

Wellman was born in Portuguese West Africa in what is now Angola , where his father worked as a doctor. He came to the United States in 1909 when he was six years old. He attended a private high school in Utah , where he played in the football team center , and then studied in Kansas with a football player scholarship at Wichita University , where he graduated in 1926 with a Bachelor of Arts . He then studied at Columbia University , where he earned a bachelor's degree in literature in 1927 .

After graduating, he became a reporter and wrote articles for the Wichita Beacon until 1930 and for the Wichita Eagle until 1934 . He then became a full-time writer. From 1936 to 1938 he was deputy project manager in New York for the Works Projects Administration's Writers' Project , a job creation scheme for unemployed intellectuals under the New Deal .

Wellman's first short story, Back to the Beast, about a scientist who uses a serum to reverse evolution and regress to animals, was published in November 1927 in the pulp magazine Weird Tales . Many of his early texts appeared in rather obscure magazines, from the early 1930s he began to publish science fiction in Hugo Gernsback's magazines. Wellman's first individual publication appeared here in 1932, a booklet with the short story The Invading Asteroid . It was the time of the Great Depression and life was difficult for Wellman and his wife. In 1930 he married the music student Frances Obrist. When Wellman succeeded in 1935 to sell Outlaws of Callisto for $ 150 to Astounding , where it appeared as the cover story in April 1936, the economic situation of the two began to improve. In 1937 his son Wade Wellman was born.

In early 1940 Wellman worked briefly for a comic strip syndicate and soon began writing scripts for comics himself , including the first episodes of the Captain Marvel comics appearing on Fawcett Publications . Wellman would then play a role in the legal battle in which DC Comics accused Fawcett of plagiarizing the Superman character for Captain Marvel. Wellman also wrote the scripts for several episodes of The Spirit .

After World War II, during which Wellman served in the New Jersey Coast Guard , he stopped writing comics and wrote relatively little for Pulp Magazines, the era of which was drawing to a close. The Wellmans moved to Pinebluff , North Carolina, and Wellman began writing books. He had previously won the first prize advertised by Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in 1946 for his short story A Star for a Warrior . Second prize went to William Faulkner , who was not yet recognized in the USA at the time , and who could use the prize money well, but was not very happy to come second after a Pulp author. Faulkner then won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949 and, after Faulkner's death in 1962, Wellman was offered the writer-in-residency position at the University of Virginia , which Faulkner had previously held since 1957. He refused.

From then on Wellman mainly wrote books: In 1947 the detective novel Find My Killer was published and received appreciative reviews. In 1949 Giant appeared in Gray , his biography of the Southern General Wade Hampton , after whom he was named. In 1951, the Wellmans finally moved to Chapel Hill, where Wellman would live until his death. But first several successful years followed: In 1956, Wellman won the Edgar Allan Poe Award , the most prestigious prize in the field of crime literature, and Rebel Boast , in which he saw the Civil War from the perspective of several participants with Dead and Gone , a story of famous crime cases in North Carolina describes, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1960 .

In total, Wellman has written about 500 short stories and about 80 books, including some non-fiction, mostly historical works on the Civil War and regional history of North Carolina. From 2000 to 2003 five volumes with a selection of his short stories were published. Five of his novels are available in German translation, and a good dozen of his short stories are scattered in anthologies .

The criticism did and still is difficult to assess and classify Wellman's work. He has written something worth mentioning in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror and crime. The fact that he also liked to cross genre boundaries, mixing genres and characters from different worlds, doesn't make classification any easier. For example, his novel Sojarr of Titan is a story of Tarzan in space, the hero of the John Thunstone series is a detective in the realm of the occult, and in his most famous cycle about John the Balladeer , Wellman mixes Appalachian folklore, southern colors, folklore and elements of fantasy and horror so thoroughly that some readers thought the demonic shonokins he had invented to be authentic folklore, if not real. In the short story series Sherlock Holmes Versus Mars , which he wrote with his son Wade, Sherlock Holmes is confronted with the Martians from HG Wells ' War of the Worlds . The series is considered the forerunner of steampunk . He is attested to writing consistently with solid craftsmanship and is often well above average in quality, but one does not like to recognize excessive originality or the pathos of crossing borders.

Everyone agrees that the stories about John the Balladeer are Wellman's best works. John is a folk singer whose guitar is strung with silver strings and who wanders through the mountains of the Appalachians, constantly having dangerous encounters with supernatural beings. The series began in 1951 with O Ugly Bird! and from 1979 Wellman processed the material in five novels, the anthology Who Fears the Devil ? , published by Arkham House . (1963) is considered decisive. In 1972 this served as a template for the film The Legend of Hillbilly John , which, however, did not find Wellman's approval.

From 1962 to 1970 Wellman was a lecturer in creative writing at Elon College in Elon, North Carolina, and from 1963 to 1973 he gave evening classes at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill . After the end of his teaching activity he was able to devote himself more to writing. During these years he wrote the novels about his characters John the Balladeer and John Thunstone .

In 1985, Wellman had been operated on as a result of a fall injury and, while convalescing, sore heels developed, the resulting wound infection could no longer be brought under control, led to several amputations and Wellman died of the consequences in 1986 at the age of 82 . His wife Frances died in 2000.

Awards

Since 2014, the Manly Wade Wellman Award for Science Fiction and Fantasy has been presented annually to an SF or fantasy author from North Carolina in honor of Wellman's memory .
