Fuck off neophyte.

Why? What is wrong with Bradbury? I love the way he writes. I love his philosophy. I think he's a fine human being and a creative mind

Pleb.

In all seriousness I think he died waaaay before his time. The definition of a prodigy succumbs to mental illness. Fucking sad

Bradbury seems really likable. This interview makes him seem a little crazy or at least scatter brained. He seems like he takes himself too seriously but not in a bad way.

>>7586578
Like most authors, he just sees the world in a different way. He sees the magic of the world and how fiction can emulate that. A genuine likable human with a good message to fall in love with life.

His writing is very much emulative of this. Ever read Dandelion Wine? Literally everything fucking amazes this guy

Apparently Huxley really liked Bradbury too. Like, went and had tea with him after Farenheit(?) was published

Called him a poet. And Bradbury was like a little kid getting personally recognized by his favorite sports-hero.

Nathanael West, Flannery O'Connor, Lydia Davis.

I want to write a Hollywood Gothic in five paragraphs.

Ray Bradbury looks a lot like Bernie Sanders.

And have you ever seen them both in one place?

Fahrenheit 451 is seriously an afterthought of a book. That ending was hysterically bad. It's 4 babbies.

Martian Chronicles, however, was pretty solid

Who wouldn't jump for the chance to meet Bloom before his flight to Lucifer?
Though honestly he's so well read and incisive that actually meeting would be nerve wracking.

He's a retard. He tried writing 451 about the demise of literature, which I agreed to before I even read it. I disagreed with other people saying it was about censorship, even though I had never read it

Then I read it. Clearly the guy failed, because he put way too much emphasis on minorities and how not offend them. Afterall, that's how the dystopian future came to be. Plus, Bradbury always got so butthurt over criticism.
