St. John of God is the patron saint of booksellers, but for many moderns, Ray Bradbury, the creator of Fahrenheit 451, deserves nearly equal status. This collection of nonfiction essays reveals the diverse interests of this beloved author. The topics of the pieces include space travel and science fiction; books, television and film; and even the great cities of the world. Other essays cover personal topics such as influences on Bradbury's life and his writing. An intimate view of an SF great.
He is an American treasure, a clear-eyed fantasist without peer, and a literary icon who has created wonder for the better part of seven decades. On subjects as diverse as fiction, the future, film, famous personalities, and more, Ray Bradbury has much to say, as only he can say it. Collected between these covers are memories, ruminations, opinions, prophecies, and philosophies from one of the most influential and admired writers of our time. As unique, unabashed, and irrepressible as the artist himself, here is an intimate portrait, painted with the master's own words, of the one and only Ray Bradbury-far more revealing than any mere memoir, for it opens windows not only into his life and work but also into his mind and heart.
