Dictionary of Literary Biography on Herbert Gold

Herbert Gold was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on 9 March 1924. His father, Samuel S. Gold, was a Russian immigrant who struggled to establish himself in America. In Cleveland Samuel Gold married Freida Frankel and became a successful businessman. Herbert, who was the first of the Golds' four sons, began writing in grammar school, and at Lakewood High School, from which he graduated in 1942, he wrote for the school newspaper. After graduating, he studied philosophy at Columbia University where he also contributed to student publications, but his education was interrupted from 1942 to 1946 while Gold served in the United States Army. In 1946, he received a B.A. from Columbia and in 1948, an M.A. In that year, he married Edith Zubrin, an ex-model, whom he divorced in 1956; they have two children, Ann and Judith. From 1949 to 1951, Gold studied philosophy at the Sorbonne on a Fulbright Fellowship and then from 1951 to 1953, he was a lecturer at Western Reserve University.
