George Sessions Perry
George Sessions Perry (May 5, 1910 – December 13, 1956) was an American novelist, World War II correspondent and one of the highest paid popular magazine contributors of his time. He is remembered best for his 1941 novel ''Hold Autumn in Your Hand'', which won the National Book Award and the Texas Institute of Letters award in 1941. In 1945, famed French director Jean Renoir directed ''The Southerner'', based on ''Hold Autumn in Your Hand'', starring Zachary Scott and Beulah Bondi. The critical praise and comparisons to John Steinbeck established Perry as one of the top writers of his era.
==Early days==
Born in Rockdale, Texas, he was the only son of Andrew Perry, a businessman who owned the local drug store, and Laura Perry, who set the social scene in Rockdale. After the death of his father in 1922 and the suicide of his mother a year later, George lived with his maternal grandmother Mai Van de Venter, whom he later immortalized in his book ''My Granny Van'', and his Uncle Perry. He spent a year at Southwestern University in nearby Georgetown, the first of three attempts at a college education that included stints at Southwestern, Purdue and the University of Houston, never earning a degree. At Southwestern he met Claire Hodges, daughter of a Beaumont medical doctor who rode out the devastating 1900 hurricane in Galveston, Texas.
