About this listen

He is an American treasure, a clear-eyed fantasist without peer, and a literary icon who has created wonder for the better part of seven decades. On subjects as diverse as fiction, the future, film, famous personalities, and more, Ray Bradbury has much to say, as only he can say it.

Collected in this audiobook are memories, ruminations, opinions, prophecies, and philosophies from one of the most influential and admired writers of our time. As unique, unabashed, and irrepressible as the artist himself, here is an intimate portrait, painted with the master's own words, of the one and only Ray Bradbury - far more revealing than any mere memoir, for it opens windows not only into his life and work but also into his mind and heart.

Ray Bradbury’s life was more interesting than I’d imagined.

There’s quite a bit of repetition (several essays share the same stories as others), but that was the only negative for me. I started reading Bradbury in the 5th grade. Maybe it was my undeveloped brain, but I thought his prose flowed like poetry. Whether a book took me to dusty Mars, the African Veldt, or a dark carnival, I was always spellbound. I decided it was time for some rereads and some sampling of stories I’d never gotten around to. This was one I’d never been aware of, and even though it transported me to Southern California and France rather than elsewhere in the cosmos I enjoyed the trip nonetheless.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
