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.
