THURSDAY, August 31st at 7pm: AUGUST POTPOURRI @ Seanchai Concludes

 

Our August series concludes with an hour of stories by 20th C legendary author, Ray Bradbury.

One of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers, Bradbury worked in a variety of modes, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and realistic fiction. The New York Times called Bradbury "the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream"

Bradbury wrote many works and is widely known by the general public for his novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and his short-story collections The Martian Chronicles (1950) and The Illustrated Man (1951).[4] Most of his best known work is speculative fiction, but he also worked in other genres, such as the coming of age novel Dandelion Wine (1957) and the fictionalized memoir Green Shadows, White Whale (1992). He also wrote and consulted on screenplays and television scripts, including Moby Dick and It Came from Outer Space. Many of his works were adapted into television and film productions as well as comic books.

Many of Herriot’s works—including All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful, The Lord God Made Them All, and Every Living Thing—became international bestsellers and have been adapted for film and television.


Herriot’s stories rely on numerous autobiographical elements taken from his life in northern England’s Yorkshire County, and they depict a simple, rustic world deeply in touch with the cycles of nature."

MONDAY, August 7th @ 7pm: August PotPourri @ Seanchai Begins!

Tonight we begin our August bouquet of storied adventures with  The Hemingway Kittens by A.R. Moran.

Of the author: "This is a woman of enormous talent, whose fiction is utterly without compare among modern American masters. She sees things that no one else sees, she finds connections that no one else has ever imagined, and she makes her prose sing and vibrate with a barely constrained but firmly disciplined power, with immense feeling, with great sympathy for the all-too-human characters who people her literary worlds."
