By writing a draft in a day I have a story with a skin around it.” Ray Bradbury’s creative coda originated long before he fashioned this concise version of it for his December 1964 Show magazine interview. His daily writing habit had become a quotidian fever by the early 1940s, and he soon learned to avoid interruptions from any other voices—including his own rational judgments. Each day became a race between subconscious inspiration and the stifling effects of his own self-conscious thoughts—the more logical thought patterns that he desperately tried to hold at bay during the few hours it would take him to complete an initial draft. Bradbury was convinced that the magic would dissolve away if he failed to carry through on a story idea or an opening page at first sitting, and it’s not surprising that his Show interview coda came with a cautionary corollary: “If one waits overnight to finish a story, quite often the texture one gets the next day is different.

  • Neil Gaiman with Sam Weller SAM WELLER
    Neil Gaiman with Sam Weller SAM WELLER: Hello everybody, and welcome to Ray Bradbury at 100. Today we celebrate the centennial of the genius of one of our great imagineers, the late Ray Bradbury, who was born in 1920. I’m Sam Weller, two-time Bram Stoker Award-winning writer and the authorised biographer of Mr Bradbury. I had the incredible privilege of working with Ray intimately for 12 years on four books and a graphic novel. Today’s event was originally intended to take place at the remarkable and one-of-a-kind Bath Festival, but in an ironic twist worthy of Ray Bradbury’s magnum opus Fahrenheit 451 we have moved our event to the virtual arena, broadcasting on to screens, into domiciles around the world. A bit of background on Mr Bradbury: Ray Bradbury was born on August 22nd 1920, at 4:50 in the afternoon. Imagine that – he missed 451 by just a single minute. Ray had an older brother and a beloved uncle die during the 1918 influenza pandemic. He lost his dear grandfather when he was just five years of age, and tragically his baby sister when he was just six. Ray came of age always on the precipice of poverty during the Great Depression. It was during these formative, all-important childhood years that Ray Bradbury discovered that creativity, art, story and imagination provided a portal away from these lingering sorrows. The Bradbury family moved to Hollywood when Ray was 13 years old, and he grew up a wild enthusiast of movies, now finding himself at play amidst the golden era of the silver screen.

A thousand pumpkin smiles look down from the Halloween Tree, and twice- times-a-thousand fresh-cut eyes glare and wink and blink, as Moundshroud leads the eight trick-or-treaters—no, nine. But where is Pipkin?—on a leaf- tossed, kite-flying, gliding, broomstick-riding trip to learn the secret of All Hallows’ Eve. And they do. “Well,” asks Moundshroud at journey’s end, “which was it? A Trick or a Treat?” “Both!” all agree. And so will you. It was a small town by a small river and a small lake in a small northern part of a Midwest state. There wasn’t so much wilderness around you couldn’t see the town. But on the other hand there wasn’t so much town you couldn’t see and feel and touch and smell the wilderness.

There is no way that this would have been possible if I did not have the full support of my family. Without the support of my parents, it would not have been possible for me to leave a secure job and pursue a terminal degree in the humanities. I will always be grateful for their support in every form as I pursued the things that I love.

  • A PIECE of WOOD by Ray Bradbury
    A PIECE OF WOOD by Ray Bradbury Put these paragraphs into the right order The sergeant, a former student of physics and metallurgy, claims to have made an invention, a machine the size of a cigarette package, which can make all weapons rust within a range of 900 miles ( 21 10). The sergeant's disclosures, though first met with scorn, begin to alarm the official. He orders the soldier to report immediately to the doctor of the post. But the young man says that he is leaving the post and walks out of the office. An army official has summoned a young sergeant to his office. Alluding to some rumours about the sergeant's "nervousness", he suggests a transfer to "some other War Area". But the sergeant has his doubts. He would prefer to see all weapons rusted overnight so that he can live in peace. When he wants to take out his service pistol, the official only finds a pile of brown rust in the holster. Cursing wildly, and with the leg of a smashed chair as a weapon, he rushes out of his office in pursuit of the sergeant. Abstractedly the official answers the doctor's phone call to report about the sergeant's delusion, the effect of "a Sixteen-Year War" ( 21 37), as he thinks. Discovering that his ball- point pen has been turned into yellow rust, he asks the doctor to get off the line. He dials the Station Guard and orders him "to stop, to shoot down and kill" the sergeant if necessary ( 22 14).

The dust-jacket is beautifully illustrated, the book is of an unusual size. Everything about it says "special."Inside, I was not disappointed. Bradbury swept me away with his opening scene:"It was a small town by a small river and a small lake in a small northern part of a Midwest state. There wasn't so much wilderness around you couldn't see the town. But on the other hand there wasn't so much town you couldn't see and feel and touch and smell the wilderness. The town was full of trees. And dry grass and dead flowers now that autumn was here. And full of fences to walk on and sidewalks to skate on and a large ravine to tumble in and yell across. And the town was full of...Boys.And it was the afternoon of Halloween.And all the houses shut against a cool wind.And the town was full of cold sunlight.But suddenly, the day was gone.Night came out from under each tree and spread."This scene sets the tone for the entire book.

My favorite short story compilation.By VikiThe is my favorite selection of short stories to date. I love science fiction but Ray Bradbury goes beyond the genre to frame subtle human experiences. Within the first few pages of each story, I am gifted with engaging conversations and palatable details. Each story gave me a new experience to contemplate long after I closed my book (kindle), looking for the meaning beyond the end of the story. If your reading experiences seem flat and one dimensional, try this author. I plan to read some of his novels.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. "Science" Fiction for the AgesBy Dave CarverLiterature. I would put this collection of short stories up against any collection by any author. The images that are conjured up by the sentences are impressive. The characters that inhabit these stories are memorable. The stories are unforgettable; and if you're looking for only science fiction you would think you would be disappointed by several of these stories....
