1. Ray Bradbury, The Stories of Ray Bradbury, and Bradbury Stories

- Ray Bradbury, The Stories of Ray Bradbury (Alfred A. ...
- Ray Bradbury, Bradbury Stories (William Morrow, 2003) .
- Ray Bradbury fans tend to like their Bradbury in large quantities. ... And that's certainly what 1980's The Stories of Ray Bradbury and the new Bradbury Stories are: 900-page volumes of 100 selections each of the master's best tales. I lack the space (or, honestly, the inclination) to review 200 stories individually, and in any case those unfamiliar with Bradbury's work are unlikely to purchase either of these volumes, as they run upwards of $30. ... The earlier book, The Stories of Ray Bradbury, containing those stories for which he is most famous "The Small Assassin," "The October Game," "The Veldt," "The Crowd," "There Will Come Soft Rains," etc. ... is likely to appeal most to the fan of "classic" Bradbury, or to anyone introduced to his work through the television anthology Ray Bradbury Theater. It feels like the more cohesive of the two probably because of this reason; these are stories that the average fan will recognize, and The Stories of Ray Bradbury certainly does an excellent job of representing the first 35 years of his career, when he was known primarily as a science-fiction writer (although that was never patently true). Conversely, several of the entries in Bradbury Stories feel like they were written by an altogether different person. ... No longer the wide-eyed innocent, this Bradbury has aged and has gained a mature outlook on life, as represented by the hero of Death is a Lonely Business and its sequels. Always a writer more of character than plot, this older Bradbury is less focused on the mere actions of his characters, preferring now to dwell on their consequences. ... Therefore Bradbury Stories has a different feel to it, and those expecting the feel of his earlier work, or anyone expecting a science-fiction anthology, will be sorely disappointed. The stories here are all good, often better, in some ways, than those in The Stories of Ray Bradbury, but since none of the "classics" are here (the books have different publishers so it is likely there were rights issues), this book is more likely to appeal to the fan who has followed Bradbury into the modern day, curious to see what the master has been up to lately.

- Ray Bradbury, (l920 - ) a rabid and devoted science fiction fan from his early adolescence and from the early years of the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society, sold his first story (a collaboration with Henry Haase) to FUTURE SCIENCE FICTION when he was l9 years old and by the end of the l940's was one of the most admired science fiction writers. The irony or paradox of Bradbury's career is that it was - in his mind - the result of his essential failure. Bradbury's his poetic, impressionistic, surreal and decidedly anti-rational stories were deemed unsuitable by John W. ... (Bradbury did sell two tiny pieces to Campbell in l943, the only stories he ever placed there. ) In the early postwar years, however,Bradbury's short stories found outlet in the so-called mainstream slick magazines - MADEMOISELLE, CHARM, REDBOOK, ESQUIRE - and he became the first science fiction writer to achieve some significant literary recognition through publication in Martha Foley's BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES and the O. ... ) Collections which followed, THE ILLUSTRATED MAN, A MEDICINE FOR MELANCHOLY and others were also successful as was Bradbury's early novel, SOMETHING WICKED HIS WAY COMES (also the basis of a Disney produced film in the l980's). Bradbury collaborated with John Huston in the early l950's on a film treatment for MOBY DICK and many of his short stories have been the basis for television and theatrical films, notably the feature-length THE WONDERFUL ICE CREAM SUIT. ...
- RAY BRADBURY: WHEN I WAS IN KNEE PANTS was the title of Damon Knight's long essay in the late l950's on Bradbury's work and influence and indeed Bradbury has been regarded as the poet of childhood; no writer in this century has been able to recapture the fears and sounds and dreams of childhood as has he through an entire body of work. ... ) Bradbury has through his languorous, imagic, acute sensory style influenced almost every fantasy writer who succeeded him. In l989, Bradbury was awarded the Grandmaster trophy of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America and In the year 2000 he was awarded the medal for literary distinction by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. ...

- www.spaceagecity.com
- Ray Douglas Bradbury was born in Waukegan, Illinois, on August 22, 1920. He was the third son of Leonard Spaulding Bradbury and Esther Marie Moberg Bradbury. ... Instead, Bradbury's great adventures would take place behind a typewriter, in the realm of imagination. Today, as an author, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, lecturer, poet and visionary, Ray Bradbury is known as one of America's greatest creative geniuses. Bradbury's early childhood in Waukegan was characterized by his loving extended family. ... In Bradbury's works of fiction, 1920s Waukegan becomes "Greentown," Illinois. ... In Greentown, Bradbury's favorite uncle sprouts wings, traveling carnivals conceal supernatural powers, and his grandparents provide room and board to Charles Dickens. Between 1926 and 1933, the Bradbury family moved back and forth between Waukegan and Tucson, Arizona. ... In 1934, the Bradbury family moved to Los Angeles, California. As a teenager, Bradbury often roller-skated through Hollywood, trying to spot celebrities. ...

- Another of Bradbury's best-known works, Fahrenheit 451, was released in 1953. ...

- Perhaps Bradbury's most unusual honor came from the Apollo astronaut who named Dandelion Crater after Bradbury's novel, Dandelion Wine. Bradbury's lifetime love of cinema fuelled his involvement in many Hollywood productions, including The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (a version of his story, "The Fog Horn"), Something Wicked This Way Comes (based on his novel,) and director John Huston's version of Moby Dick. His animated film about the history of flight, Icarus Montgolfier Wright, was nominated for an academy award Over the decades, there have also been many attempts to adapt Bradbury's stories for television. Commendable examples include episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Twilight Zone, and Bradbury's Emmy-winning teleplay for The Halloween Tree. ... For instance, Bradbury was seriously disappointed with a Martian Chronicles network miniseries, broadcast in 1979. Looking for more creative control, Bradbury turned to the relative freedom of cable television and developed his own series. Ray Bradbury Theater ran from 1986 until 1992 and allowed the author to produce televised versions of his own stories. Even while working on TV series, novels, short stories, screenplays and radio dramas, Bradbury continues to publish collections of his plays, poems and essays. ...

- Bradbury: An Illustrated Life: A Journey to Far Metaphor.
- Since he was a small boy, Ray Bradbury has been a collector. ...
- We think of metaphors as words, but for Bradbury, they are the images he had been collecting all of his life. ... Bradbury writes in his introduction “So I realized I’d been saving King Tut metaphors, seen in newspapers when I was three, and now reborn on stage here in Los Angeles. ... ” One can only imagine how many metaphors Bradbury has collected in those eight decades. But author, artist and Bradbury fan Jerry Weist has made a grand attempt to show us in a coffee-table book lavishly illustrated with the images of Ray Bradbury’s life. ... and foreign covers of Bradbury’s books, but also the original works of art they were adapted from. Also include in Weist’s book are movie stills, original daily comics, pulp covers, and many more of Bradbury’s “metaphors. ...
- As Weist explains in his preface, his book is “not only a history of Ray Bradbury for the last eight decades, but also a history of editorial art during the past sixty years. ...
- But what may be disappointing to Bradbury fans is the lack of input by the great master. As mentioned, Bradbury did write the Introduction, but after that, it appears he left Weist on his own to scour through eighty years worth of photo albums and scrapbooks. Weist had text to write, and instead of picking Bradbury’s brain, he picked through his archive and came up with interviews and journal entries of people associated with Bradbury sometime during the last eighty years. ... The worst part was once he ran out of stills from that movie, he included stills from other Bradbury movie adaptations, never bothering to provide much text about them other than one-sentence photo captions.
- If you are looking for a Ray Bradbury biography, Bradbury: An Illustrated Life may not be your best choice. But if all you are interested in is a chronological view in pictures of Bradbury’s professional life, this book is perfect. ...
