My favourite writers are Victor Hugo, Emily Bronte and
Ray Bradbury.
Seldom, however, have I encountered a collection of essays so sprawling and patchy as Orbiting
Ray Bradbury's Mars: Biographical, Anthropological, Literary, Scientific and Other Perspectives, edited by Gloria McMillan.
A cool demeanor was demanded, and it was something I never really had to struggle with--until the day I found that stack of books and then
Ray Bradbury himself sat down for lunch at the Bistro Garden.
@Iatimes (Los Angeles Times):
Ray Bradbury, dead at 91, leaves a legacy as a writer who provided enduring speculative blueprints for the future.
Ray Bradbury is gone, leaving behind a treasure trove of wisdom, remembrance, and warning that a remnant, the book people of tomorrow, can carry into the future.
Sci-Fi titan
Ray Bradbury, best know for Farenheit 451, his prophetic warning from 1953 about the banning of books and intelligence and a future where people would wander around cut off with tiny ear-phones plugging them into music and news all the time, died this week aged 91.
Ray Bradbury, author of novels Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes, died on Tuesday night in Southern California.
10th Ave., with a free performance of original works created and performed by students from the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance in honor of
Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451."
Ray Bradbury would have made a great "Revenge of the Nerds" character alongside Gilbert, Lewis, Poindexter, Wormser, and Lamar Latrell, had he not been such a caricature.
